An Adulty Adipisci is a eight song collection of tales of adult experience
such as having children, feeling love, and enjoying a good drunk drive home.
This is the seventh TASM Lab album, and like its predecessors, it is completely
different than the rest.
The spotlight on Jeff Till's new compositions are the harmonized vocals of
Kalamazoo legend Chris Bryers (Twitch, Sleet, Owlsa, Selling
Heaven, TASM's "Thing and Nothing", and now "Hazel and the Black
Rabbit") and now Bostonite and beautiful pipette Michelle Graf (Blue Dahlia, "Thing
and Nothing", "The Essential Cubicle Nosepicker", Tether).
The vocals sing gorgeous, memorable melodies in sometimes energetic sometime
sullen tones. Harmonies and melodies are layered and rich, but sometimes
lonely and stark.
The singing is supported by a live band of acoustic guitars, gooey del
palmer-y bass, acoustic drums, live percussion, piano, and an assortment
of strings,
bells, choruses and even birds and atmospheric noises. The sounds with
harmonies are often layered into thick walls of sonic dream, like the
first track off
of the Cure's "disintegration", a prettier part of MBV's Loveless,
sometimes even feeling like an orchestra.
The songs could be compared to The Flaming Lips "The Soft Bulletin",
Tori Amos albums, The New Pornographers, Sun Kil Moon, Burt Bacharach, Elvis
Costello, Fiona Apple, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine,
The Church, Prince, David Gray, Peter Yourn, Coldplay, Adam Ant. Um. Elliot
Smith, Billy Bragg, The Damned's "Phantasmagoria". Maybe a bit of
sixties jangle in there, um, Webber and Lloyd, Henry Mancini...
Late stage Beatles or beach boys, as far as instrumentation, might
not be far off.
It's not totally unlike TASM Lab's "Essential Cubicle Nosepicker",
but there's a whole band this time.
You could also say it could fit into a Wes Anderson or Sophia Coppola
or other art-intellectual-quirky filmmaker soundtrack. This might
be the best
description,
because while the music is completely non-experimental and totally
pop-accessible, it avoids any established genre per se, much like
all of the strumming
and singing you hear in the inventive songs during movies like Rushmore
or Lost
in Translation.
Brent Oberlin says: "I listened to the whole album. Is this the order?
Is it a concept record? I remember you playing me "Love will Cloud" at
our visit. At times you pull-off a very good wall-o-sound/ Roy Orbison/ Bruce
Springsteen-type thing with the production. All the strings, piano, and strum'in
acoustics are cool. I really like "Army of Children", "Cool
Water", and "Love will Cloud"; plus the hickbilly/ super-outro
drumfills in "Lost in a Parking Lot" are fun. Did you sing on anything
besides "Souced Romantics"? MB and CB together again. I hope I haven't
said anything that makes you taste vomit."
You could say it's related in sound/trend to Chris Bryer's recent "Birds" and "Hazel
and The Black Rabbit" and the lighter moments of Thought Industry's "Short
Wave on a Cold Day".

right, well i guess expecting that drastic of a process acceleration isn't rational is it. *shrug* well if it makes any difference,I myself as Steve,am NOT a wound up nature show host or school shooter or some random person who cant manage to get off their ass without external encouragement or anyone else I killed who's name was Steve.THAT Steve is DEAD in the final context of the word and no one in their RIGHT MIND cares, to continue identifying with him as a living being.This is ludicrous.

everything is enchanted. enchantment is the more melodic synonym of entropic gravity touching closer to its etheric nature as you see it takes the cemetary out of the song in essence linguistically. take, for example, my radio. it's an inexpensive cd player and am/fm model with no tape player and no clock- i had the option to let my mom get me a pricier model because it was a birthday gift but the other model was unaesthetic. the brand name printed on it demanded attention. this little guy doesn't ask me to look at it. after my mom bought it for me i gave it back then bought it off her, which sounds like nonsense maybe but thats what i had to do for it to be mine. now its in my aparment sitting on the microwave, plugged into the wall (the radio is, not the microwave), but i never use it, nor do i intend to. i never turn it on. i don't own any cds and i'm not interested in the radio stations. it's just important, for some reason, that that thing is there. it's existence and presence in my apartment in and of itself is the manifested expression of the radio station i'm listening to, the radio, at least that part of it that is there merely to act as a mental reference point to the radio, to itself, to the essence of the here and now that is the true raw nature of time as it would otherwise be forgotten in the false context of memory. there is no music that is richer than this. there is no signal stronger than silence as all sound is contained within it. everything is enchanted by silence. the strength of an existences enchantment is measured by the strength of its silence. this is true for all of existence including within the context of music as expressed in the wake of silence.

there's obviously a direct connection between time travel and the dimensions. when a person time travels the first thing that happens is that they effectively erase their original timeline, so there has to be somewhere for te traveller to be wen their originating timeline is gone, and that is the dimensions/dimensional existance, which is the same as the place refered to as the other side, which is accessable by degree of indisposal to physicality, of course. it i by order of the cessation of interest in the expression of the local timeline that the traveller is imparted visibility within this field, and this process may be expressed in varying degrees of speed. the traveller for example may wish to sift bulk from their observed expression or to purge it, perhaps in haste, which would lengthen the process, as more bulk would then be created while attempting to escape entropic gravity which no one can do on the other side or on this one.

in response to "black lentil"'s prattle about sporky:
dude, how are you going to say that it's SAD that a kid named after a plastic fork and spoon combination i ate parfaits from kentucky fried chicken with when i was the same age he was when we were both on the farm does better growing up in the mainstream, using a username that's just a ripoff of kira's, and an incoherent one at that, and expect to be taken seriously? i mean, by anyone intelligent, obviously you succeeded in shutting down the thread and making a spectacle of hipforums moderatorship, but that's beside the point. or is it. heh. nevermind. good job genius.
