Guitar art rock from the Bay Area. A more tangentless Mr. Bungle (obviously) influenced canvas of mostly instrumental pieces with an array of different guests revolving around the core lineup of Nolan and Drew Cook (with additional credits going to The Mysterious Mangum, Rubberman & Thresh rounding out the "band").

The anonymous nature of pseudo-names and appearing in garish masks for the photo shot goes with the mindset of art rock with a splash of dynamic theatrics. This attitude also translates into the high sense of dramatic rescue and decline felt through complicated, but rational structures of mostly melodic pieces with intentionally ugly thrown in. Occasionally some spoken word lyrics might play in and out, but they are treated more like an additional sonic element more than the traditional vehicle for verbal interpretations. Again, very in league with the "art-rock" ideal.

Oh yeah, all art-rock bands hate being called art-rock so if you see, "Land of Thin Dimes" - make sure you tell them they are cool "art-rock" just to get under their skin. Nothing worse than a self-inflated art-rocker in denial - so keep 'em in check. For they are disturbed geniuses. Not for the casual observer of music who when asked what they listen to responds, "Oh everything" - for I guarantee you they aren't listening to this. Fans of the abstract yet strangely musical should find some kindred distraction in this.
