Electric guitarist Chris Forsyth (Peeesseye) and organist Shawn Edward Hansen (Phantom Limb & Bison) run rock music through a filter of transcendental experimentalism and improvisatory nerve. The result is a disorienting, psychedelic, and beautiful realignment of rock music’s form and function.

Limited to 300 copies. 'A certain line of thinking and feeling that runs from the hermetic and mannerist times from the dusk of the renaissance through the unfolding of the baroque has been very influential for me in the past few years and seems to resurface in this collection of pieces. Conceptual frameworks here are often wrapped in luscious drapery as in the case of Rosso or It is an island while compositions proceed by elongated proportions, highly stylized poses and allegoric artific…
