about

“Before The Sun” emerged from a chunk of an hour-long improvisation. We embraced a one-take mentality (a la The Book Of Knots) with our ensuing overdubs, committing to whatever accidental beauty or tomfoolery emerged. In the company of musical geniuses like Cheer-Accident, you have no choice but to jump headlong into the mega-blast of their musical firehose. We are also lucky to have had Abby Swidler with us, who is not only masterful at entertaining our daughter Tallulah with endless hours of make-believe and coloring over the course of our 3-week tour, but is also a masterful musician herself, so we roped her into the precedings as well.

This is a fine time to mention that Cheer-Accident is following in the footsteps of RRR with its own subscription series, set to launch on September 1st as a branch of their website. Lets hear it for more people taking this method to the streets!

lyrics

before the sun
there was an oval darkness
without any background,
height
or width;
an oval behind the eyes:
the mirrored disk.
first stop, two,
then off
toward the outer
but there is no rim
to dance upon
as darkness loses shape
and the density unleashed.

this boxer has no shadow.
