Description
In and out of bed, shuffle in and out of womb.
Pass by the rumble of the washing machine – come, press closer.
Sit on a stool, throat muscles being exercised to the approaching wall, sudden hit by a swarm of choky laughs.
Blunt knife grinds on the crispy toast – yum,
whilst on your backside it is thick like marbles.
We can’t find the fashion show,
Too late for fashion show,
Man, I am silly for fashion show.
And I am glad I miss the point of glamour.

‘Fanatic absurdist burner Territorial Gobbing teams up with out vocalist Odie Ji Ghast to explore their styles stacked in sound sandwich form. Most of the material is fairly formal, almost approachable. Vocals are central to each track, the music assuming a support role. Lyrical considerations are relegated to elongated glissando and weirdo long shower scatting. Some parts are sweet, opener “We” is the sound of an aunt writing their grocery list while incidental notes on a ghost piano drift out a neighbors balcony. Elsewhere, the vocals layer into strange choral conversations, like on “A Deal”. The voice is a personal instrument,
exemplified on “How’d You Like My New Voice?”, a track devoid of music counterpart. “She’s Leaving” revisits the small scale, sweetness infused minimalism of “We”, at near ten minutes, its use of negative space in the guise of an unobtrusive backing synth notes frame the track well. Closer “Chillin’& Vibin’” solidifies the impromptu humor of the album, with an auto-tuned precocious child’s voice repeating “Welcome to the booty show!” over sparse piano and trumpet.
YES.’
