about

AutoEroticBiography: With a verse chord progression written while watching Hubert Selby Jr’s Last Exit To Brooklyn adaptation, and a sonic trip to a 1950’s high school Sadie Hawkins dance for the chorus, all else left to do was pack the gaps with musical math equations. Like most of the album’s lyrics, it’s a battle of Id and ego and AI. Much of it starts as computer cut ups of very bad poetry, warped through Bowie’s Verbasizer software precisely 36 times (shout out to Wu Tang for my numerological superstitions), until it’s a jumbled mess of pure dream imagery. Then I go in and sculpt (though it’s more like scab picking) until it resembles something worth saying into a microphone. As far as I can tell, this one’s about a sex worker who takes down Big Pharma. The field recording outro transports us from the confines of Drummer Aaron’s guest room turned track factory, right out the window into the beautiful August day happening in the Woodhood, birds chirping, lawns being manicured, and a plane Dopplering thru the last guitar twinkles, landing deftly on the tonic of the song.

lyrics

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
