Poesy Rider Que font des musiciens qui savent jouer de n'importe quel style ? La réponse va de soi : ils jouent de tout. D'autant que dans le cas de Spine readers, leur niveau le leur permet. Ainsi, tout y passe, tout en restant assez homogène. Alors, on pourra simplement parler d'un style foisonnant de haute volée... Qui dit mieux ? Favorite track: Funky Delirium.

Leaps of Logic run around my head And float into the ether where truth lies dead My own reality supersedes the rest No one else is smart enough to know that I know best Truth is what I make it out to be I create my own reality I stack my version up against your own Chosen and righteous standing all alone Convinced am I, no one can change me Leaps of logic create all that I see Truth is what I make it out to be I create my own reality Speak the lies long enough and some start to believe Honesty is irrelevant my goal is to deceive Weak mind latch on to a message of distrust Into my world of make believe my victims are thrust Truth is what I make it out to be I create my own reality

My ears are plugged by Daptones My bladder’s filled with Sly Stone(s) Blood pressure spikes thanks to Grace Jones My lungs collapse like Maceo’s Hot funky delirium Groove Illusion Hot funky delirium Stanky fever all night long Hot funky delirium Boiling down my cranium Flatline from a phat bassline Cold sweats are pourin outta me Dr. Funkenstien‘s bill’s too hefty Even the nurse rejects me Cuz Im insured by the Funk Agency [Quotation from Betty Davis’ “If I’m In Luck I Might Get Picked Up”]

Apologies scrolled across suspicious x-rays backlit with genuine color the truth of light cannot uncover another town another buyer of the masses stage one phases in and out contradictory evidence played aloud tell this flying fuck face your every want study his reactions and judgments think of the fine car and who in it you can’t out run your desires barefoot in the headlights one swerve of the wheel will overtake you shove this asymmetric April symmetry the reactions and the judgments of all the wives and husbands the downsides of sincere touches overwhelms them makes you want to cum emotion makes you want to cum a man-lake silently sawing at your delight he revealed his worst unconscious in folded bits with golden cases banging all asymmetric one swerve of the wheel and fate overtakes you another mind leaps up and delivers danger under long salt hair of shame I consume the cancer you saw me you saw me in half you saw me in half with your sex

about

With Illogicians losing a member to the inhospitable heat of Texas and gaining fresh blood from Craigslist, and Guillotine Eyes ever roving desire to collaborate, a tacit agreement to experiment between all parties was struck in Bellingham WA, 2018. Their first challenge was to create a linear piece of music collaged together from small fragments of song ideas, cycling through disparate genres, musical feels, and any and all instruments available. With no hesitation, the jams and solo composed bits coalesced into what became Mission Statement, the first composition and motus operendi of the freshly christened Spine Readers. Soon to follow were attempts at standard song forms (Salt My Tambourine), dabbles in spontaneous gestural passages (the breakdown of Funky Delirium), and wanders into the murky fields of quotation and ethnic traditional textures (Velocipede). Each song was composed as a live playable piece, within the creative confines of various rehearsal rooms generously donated. It wasn’t until Drummer Aaron’s home studio became available to us where the epic conundrum of multitracking these lengthy and tricky pieces commenced. Some songs went down without a fight, track by track, from drum beds to vocal overdubs. Some were built in separate sessions of 10 second slices, later Frankensteined together. As a digitally recorded album, the technology was pushed to its limits, harddrives bowed, RAM stumbled. As a homemade album, time and expense were no longer the burdens typical of a paid studio scenario. Freedoms to indulge the use of the kitchen sink and beyond were fully leveraged. This album documents the musical mayhem of Spine Readers, in the year of our lord (Betty Davis), 2018-2019.
