The International House of Dancakes

Just an old track I dug out while searching for instrumentals for something. This was an exercise messing with the idea from the equal interval system that repeating sets of intervals tend to be "accepted" by the ear even if they're in wildly different keys, and then it started to sound so circussy and so creepy that I just ran with it.

About fifteen years ago when we were hanging out in Austin, it came out that Disparition and I had both independently had the idea of writing musicals or concept albums about war from the perspective of those who were not fighting but were caught up in the middle of it. I don't know if anything ever came of his version, but mine has sort of languished in the back of my mind and in my "someday" pro...

This is a set of tracks that were initially intended as part of the soundtrack for a project that is now on indefinite hiatus. I liked the tracks enough that I decided to put them together and release them as their own thing.

Just a nice little droney thing I threw together a few weeks ago.

Just a demo of something super melodramatic and depressing I've been working on. Lyrics: Some trivial mistake is keeping you awake mired in your feelings staring at the ceiling in the deep end of the night til finally you'd kill to have some kind of pill to break the circle that you walk in fidgeting and talkin' to yourself, all the time you keep saying that it's over over and over again you keep...

Bitter Suite by Dan Warren

Just playing around with a jazzy progression and kept adding stuff until I accidentally reverse engineered it into Ben Folds Five.

Just a thing I was playing with that turned into a thing which turned into another thing. I'm not sure it's done yet but I like it.

This is one we recorded for Love Button's album Eat More Fruit, but ended up leaving it off the album for some reason I can't remember. Lyrics: They're coming now just like rednecks to Graceland They seem to think that I know what I'm talking about They think I heal them with a wave of my hand Well I do what I can, and it all works out Cuz they think I'm Jesus, and that's all right They give me mo...

What's a song about insect taxonomy without a bumping, slightly haunting techno remix? This one courtesy of Delstar!

Ainsley Seago suggested that we needed some Schoolhouse Rock style songs about what insect taxonomists do, with the hopes that maybe they will be more likely to be funded in the future. I bashed this track together and she did some drawings, and now there's a video you can check out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYSIhzb14QI
