简介

Wrong Turn Into Yesterday” is an EP we’ve completed while in the process of creating our upcoming album. We are releasing this in an effort to cushion the impending collision between you (our beloved listeners) and our full-length debut. By the time you have been properly courted we will drop to one knee and beg that you take our album into ownership and, as in any courtship, there will be surprises upon commitment. We hope by that time you will grow fond of our brazen disregard for certain musical conventions. Songs may do weird things, like start out with the sparkle of even light through forgotten pastures and end up in the bouncing bosom of a rave goddess betwixt and between ecstasy and flashing smoke. Like little drunken elves making massive wooden toys, we mean to make an album the way albums were made when they had great monetary value. Just the other day Steve waited patiently at the console for 3 hours while I duct taped my acoustic guitar inside a pillow case to soften the sound and then tried on 20 or so pairs of shoes to get the right accompanying foot tapping sound. Meanwhile, Dax was trying to wrap his brain around a vocal section after being asked to sound like a mix between Johnny Cash, a muezzin, and the noise a baby rabbit makes flying through the air in the talons of an owl. Some songs will be free and for others we will have to hold out the binary tin cup. We are confident that you will find value in our music equal to or greater than a double cheeseburger from McDonald’s, which currently holds the world title for the most valuable thing you can buy for a dollar. Those of you who purchase every song will be supporting the album process and will officially become miniature executive producers. We will include all your names on the album if China has a breakthrough in their development of the world’s smallest font. The EP title is from a quote by physicist Dr. Sean M. Carroll in an interview with Stephen Colbert on the “Colbert Report”, while he was describing our lack of understanding of why time works the way it does in the universe. Colbert pronounced that Carroll’s quip would a perfect name for an album. I agreed with Colbert’s wit and perhaps deeper perceptions. The songs on this EP demonstrate that despite the laws of physics, on an emotional level a “wrong turn in yesterday” is a very common human experience. Sometimes we pine on past loves or addictions when we should really be looking forward to tomorrow and the ones we are with. Please refer to our artwork drafted and designed by the talented Cassie Oakes , which was influenced by “Potency”, a piece by the gifted polish artist Powel Jonca. It is here where song name references are made. Now would be great time to download the EP, put on a pair of decent headphones, dim the lights, and light a… candle. Our collective brain, like an iceberg drifts in the depths of cold blue water. There emerges an island — our frontal lobe of consciousness. On the island sits a cabin warm with love, but small and far from the icy depths of the subconscious brain. Our first song, “Insane” floats off the shores of the island. Above is the conscious world and below is the subconscious. Stuck between what is real and what is imaginary sits insanity. The insanity of love lost can sometimes be dampened by diving deeper into the lonely depths of the subconscious. In this place there is no loneliness, only oneness. A healthier route may be to just “Let It Go”, finding the amygdala where that song resides. This part of the brain is soaked in oxytocin, the hormone responsible for unconditional love. It takes a bold emotional jump to know when to let something go–certain conditions sever a tie that once seemed unconditional. On the periphery of the insular cortex lays “Morning Light”. The insala is responsible for addiction. When people break theirs, they no longer want cigarettes or whatever drugs they loved. I have had dear friends that I wish had broken theirs before it broke them. This song is for one of them. “Slip On By” sits above the hippocampus. This part of the brain assists with our perception of time and sometimes is in contrast with our desire to hold on to moments spent with people we love, when we struggle to be here and now and try not to worry about the future or the past. “Gentle and Sideways” slices through the corpus callosum, dividing the logical and creative sides of the brain. It vibrates in an epileptic battle to remain cool and logical in the midst of creative and passionate love. And finally, 9Tomorrows is submerged in the depths of the outer-subconscious. Swimming in the trenches of extra-sensory perception, we are lost and lawless, free to forget all conventions. From here our ideas drop like depth charges, sometimes diffusing into imperceptible waves, and other times penetrating the walls of consciousness. Anyway, that’s one way to look at our tracks. Listen to them, download them, and share them with people you like and don’t like, but please keep them hidden from the people you feel so-so about.
