From dark shadows and a newly invigorated vice for song manipulation (some call it inspired) comes this pile of demos and songs that didn't belong anywhere else except with the slow wire. "I knew it was in me, somewhere hidden. And it wasn't a splinter," says guitarist/singer Dave Urbano. What came next was a jackpot full of dissonance, pop and oral transgressions that are sure to give you that eerie sense you have been stalked before. Maybe not by Dave. Someone was taking notes, he claims, and dropped them in his head. So he took a drummer he liked, Tommy Bendel, and said here is this riff, and it goes into this chord and that chord and I will try and sing, or pull something airy that sounds like singing which happens upon a melody or two. He coped. He showed Bendel 11 more. Twenty minutes later he told him to meet on such and such a date in Hoboken and they were to start recording an album with Wayne Dorell at this studio the Pigeon Club, where Wayne has worked with Aviso' Hara (Urbano's other band in which he plays bass), True Love, and Yo La Tengo to mention just a few. "Right after my very first guitar lesson I can remember that I knew one day I wanted to invent my own style of playing. What I didn't know is that it would involve keyboards to create texture, lots of guitar mistakes, and would take a long time to develop."
