the vaporbombed love affair
Release date: 2005
A 7-song EP, first released in 2005, more properly mixed and remastered in 2009. the music is probably most aptly described as damaged art rock, with a lot of musical and lyrical darkness belied a bit by fairly frenetic and aggressive drumming.

exercises in failure
Release date: 2000
the first makeshift letterbox release, cobbled together from various minidisc recordings made between 1998-2000. the music ranges from damaged art rock (‘You Will Betray Me’) to ambient (‘we are believers’, ‘Planetarium’) to experimental (‘tapeworm delay’) to dreamy electronic (‘will you betray me?’, ‘weightless’) and even damaged art folk at times (‘formica’, ‘another portrait’).
