CHAPTER

The Bassiest Care Album of All Time

The funeral party had two different songs on here that were inspired by the gothiest series of novels ever, The Gorman Gost novels by Mervyn Peake. I like music that is built around repetition, Benedictine chance and Indian mantras. These musics are built around slow change. They allow you to draw things out. It's funny that they didn't really like ascribed being goth or talk about goth or want to be part of that. If you're going to fully explore something, you need more than one song to do it. You have to separate yourself from any potential for being put in a position where you're only that thing.
