one pink they'll never sink
Wooden Wand - Warn Winch, Pts. 2-3
So there was an electrical fire in my office this afternoon. One minute, I was sitting there in my little octagonal workspace (true), trying to decide whether or not what I was smelling was burning plastic or some sort of industrial strength cleaner, and the next minute the servers (the computers, not the waiters) are smoking and throwing off a fragrance strongly reminiscent of burnt hair. Unpleasant. Point being, there's no time to describe this song, I inhaled a lot of that smoke and my blood hurts, so I'll just have to diagram it:
Pt. 2
_______bugzapper sounds||___[muffled background singing]
..........\
...........\___calm plateau of electric guitar noodling________
Pt. 3
Simply a hundred different strands of James Jackson Toth'sfrayed voice harmonizing and shifting (slightly, tectonically) against each other. "Pull me out", moving in all the separate directions of the compass rose. Just enough of a difference on each iteration that the cumulative effect is overwhelming but subtle. This is my second favorite song on the album ("Eagle Claw" holds the top spot, in case you were wondering).
Wooden Wand's solo album, "Harem of the Sundrum & the Witness Figg" is available from the very nice people (person, really) at Soft Abuse. Pick this one up tout de suite.
