Monogamy:
Recorded at Gatas y Vatas
A collaborative live painting set. Audience members played kitchen items such as pots, pans, macaroni, salt, and a gourd.
Themes explored: the construction of gender, monogamy, marriage to art.
Open Choir:
Layers of open ended organ tones searching for meaning and an open heart... everything you liked about church music without the ominous.
Endless Door:
Recorded in Will's bedroom.
Themes explored: Making the familiar strange, the erasure of silence in Seattle and the sound of construction, commuting.
Sounds used: bike break squeak, truck, construction, door opening, keys, guitar played with a knife and wine bottle, synth.
All tracks recorded in Seattle during September & October 2015

"Hollow points come through as the church organs can be heard once again. It feels like two different types of drone overlapping with other taps and it is somewhere between chill and sad. The doors of course continue to open as the notes (Which I still think are higher bass guitar notes) return as well. There are also sad strings- a cello perhaps?- and somehow both Becs and Yellow Dragon manage to create such great music on their own, but then also together as well. I like the concept behind this idea of having two artist showcase their own skills first and then linking them together. I wish more labels were doing this."
