629.3 06:12
I cleaned this house and centralized the place Got fingerprints into a data base We make the rules, then break them if we must The tapes are rolling for the public trust I like the horses, but I think you know your place My meals are paid for by the 50 states You call it blackmail, but I like to call it leverage Your secrets are the best tools of my trade I stand behind the mirror with Clyde here by my side You have your orders, the light’s left my eyes Now be a good girl, put our history through the shredder He who lives by the sword must die with her

Dust Storm 03:14
When the dust storm comes there will be no escape kids will rub off the etchings leaving charcoal on your grave Won't go back to the factory or go begging in the street but the dust storm's trying to blow the earth beneath my feet Throw some blankets on the windows stuff some towels in the doors 'cause the dust storm's comin' to suck the air out of your pores We all love to tell the story as long as it always remains just a page from history remote as a dream of coming rain

about

Pat Hamilton, Patrick Hussey, Greg Stark, and Dan Sweigert continue their tradition of mind-bending prog that feels like a mechanical lava lamp of sound: swirling, chunky, funky, and fascinatingly strange.
The rhythm guitars are tough, the lead riffs fed through effects that let notes stretch and pop like gum. "629.3" pings between full-charge-ahead drums and wall-of-grit, grunge style guitar, flipping into falling-up-the-stairs piano, and Sweigert's melodic-yet-dissonant vocals. Movements are crisply stacked alongside one another—yet somehow, as it escalates, we're pulled into a centrifuge of sound.

about

Star Period Star Savannah, Georgia

Star Period Star just released their 1st LP on smoked vinyl "Daylight Spending Time". The band has returned to its use of "wobbletones", radical guitar tunings where the lower strings are tuned so low that they not only create micro-tonal chords, but the notes bend or wobble as they are played. Bob Drake (Thinking Plague/5uus) & Mike Hagedorn (Lovely Little Girls/Cheer-Accident) also appear. ... more
