SUMMER SYNONYM SESSION SONGS, from 2008!
http://www.mediafire.com/?8e8voy65je0dutt
This is 22 songs recorded around the time of scissor shock's violent fucked up album "synonym for the word decay" (which is our most abrasive and violent album, not our best but these songs were written to be played live. They were played live many rimes and they've since been quietly retired). This is SS at our most no wave... I would bring a riff and a beat to a guy's house every week .ONE TAKE. I'd program some drums, play ONE TAKE of guitar. FIX NO MISTAKES. I'd play some bass/organ ONE TAKE. No fixing of any mistakes at all, and trust me, there are mistakes galore. Booe would play trombone or trumpet. And then I'd yell some lyrics, usually from poems I wrote right then or something we read out of a book. The vocals would be done through a telephone. It's basically.. instant-music. It has an energy and urgency that I'm proud of. The horns sound like they're dying. The drum machine is stuttering and fucked up. The guitars could tear off your enamel (yet are mostly clean). The bratty annoying telephone and megaphone vocals are like Arto Lindsay getting it on with Don Van Vliet. All in all, it sounds like a very very Beefheart-as-covered-by-Red-Transistors. Even if you're not usually into Scissor Shock, you'll probably enjoy this collection.
Features all the songs from the Shearing Pinx split, as well as the Bubblegum Octopus split and a few other bands. Also has some tracks only on comps before. Even some urneleased songs. These are some of my favorite songs, and this is sound I won't be returning to, since I am going to continue to make the band more complex and musical. But if your favorite side of SS is the violent out of control side of the band, this might be your album of choice. Will probably not see an official release, so enjoy. Only 36mb or so.
