A Presbyter's Dementia

Artists

Album Info

Release Date: 2016-06-07

Label: F of X Records

The Priest is a twisted bastard interested in recording triangles on pillows with his out dated Synclavier and God knows what he and his favorite altar boy Phillup will do for a laugh. This was originally Thurmoil Chapter Four but due to some sweet intervention it has become a slight existential, absurd religious documentation on a Presbyter with more than just Jesus on his mind. Appearances from Fuzzy Gray Logic's Meryl Mathews peak their way through in an actual telephone call of wafting gas proportions as well as a rare Marci Geller performance with her first group of the 90's called Point Of You. My views on ignorance and religious hypocrisy (Lock and Load My Sweet Baby Jesus) mingle with my own bizarre experiences in the Catholic church (Catholicity Hokum) along side three Christmas classics : The Gearhead Freaks' Spike Jones infested (Blame It On Christmas Day), the beautiful existential Christmas ballad, (Christmas And I Am Not Afraid) and the insane prose (and speaking voice) of Anthony Pomes on the down right horrific Christmas tale (Daniel's Sled). A few instrumentals are found here and there. One being a big band cover of the Procol Harum classic "In The Autumn Of My Madness", recorded live at the now defunct "Bottom Line"in NYC. This CD is for the certifiable nut that lives inside your religion.
