This is the first of a series of 3 or 4 tapes documenting our recordings from 2023.

Getting back to playing was a whole thing. Neither of us had been playing much music and weren't sure how we'd get back to it since we live pretty far apart and had opted in to playing shows. We always leaned on improvisation in our sets and our last few years were entirely improvisational, so we decided we'd create a few frameworks for playing our live gigs to give us something to lean on. In a sense, "songs" but VERRRRY loose. So here's a tape documenting two very different versions of one of those pieces, which was based around some vague ideas and tape loops of early music fragments. We are old now, history and we wanted to play with history. L O L. Anyway, I think the music is pretty good. Not bad for a band that hasn't recorded anything or played out in 15 years.
