This is one of those classic epic Nels Cline odyssey pieces that lasts a good 10 minutes and sounds like that scary episode of Twilight Zone where the guy keeps reliving his war crime on a sinking battleship. If you could translate Serling’s WWII angst into a quartet recording that is. We recorded it back in 2013 for the Macroscope session. SASSAS put this previously unreleased track on a split 12”. Split vinyl! Remember those days?! The other side is a live recording of a band called Solid Eye whom I know nothing about. Maybe I should Google that. The cover art is by Sterling Ruby. These are signed by him and limited to 110 copies.
