about

What happens when you take the basic elements of your tunes and reorganize them as you play? That was the basic operating principle of the Splatter Trio at the time this album was recorded.

Using the anagram as a metaphor, Splatter regularly juxtaposed its melodies, riffs, chord progressions and beats in new and unexpected ways during each performance. Songs were rarely played the same way twice, and the results often lead to the creation of new tunes.

Describing the band's approach on this album, the poet Steve Benson wrote "The whole is an explosion of the sum of its parts' incongruence."
