On the morning of December 11, he was walking on the boulevard, and having arrived at the cemetery, he stared at the sun, and, receiving from it's rays the imperative order to tear off his finger, without hesitation, without feeling any pain, he seized between his teeth his left index finger, the flexor and extensor tendons, and the articular ligaments at the level of the phalangeal articulation, using his right hand, he then twisted the extremity of the dilacerated left index finger, severing it completely. The young automutilator. The young automutilator. In the days that preceded the automutilation, he drank several glasses of rum or cognac. It was then that, walking along the boulevard on December 11, he asked the sun for advice, got an idea into his head, stared at the sun to try to hypnotize himself, guessing that it's answer was yes. He thereby seemed to receive approval. Lazy man, get out of your sorry state, it seemed to be telling him this, through thought transmission. It did not seem very hard he added, after contemplating suicide, to bite off a finger. I told myself, I can always do that.

about

With an eye toward live sound, and a soft spot for analog. This LP represents singular voices under a unitary yoke. Surrealism. From Georges Bataille to Vincent Van Gogh. From severed ear to dilacerated finger. Where paternalistic gods turn out to be deadbeat dads, with a bad attitude. Where dead crusader popes exalt more death from beyond the grave. Where no matter how dangerous things are, they are not as dangerous as 1977. And, finally Dinetah, a good place to end. In beauty!
