hell-holla! I Made a Video for our song
"Go To The Place Where Everything Suxx And Leave Again"




There's A Neat Story To This Video!
It was made so that each of the three notes in each chord was a color, so whenever chords are playing there are three colors layered on top of each other. Whenever a bass note is playing there is a specific texture for each one of bass note. Then for the most part the images in the foreground each correspond to a note in the melody that the main guitar is playing.

YAY!



So i've read Razorcake for like the past five years and it's always been my favorite punk zine. I always dreamed of one day having something i made reviewed in it. AND HERE WE ARE!!

THANKS JEFF PROCTOR! I LOVE YOU!

COYOTE SLINGSHOT:
First Word of Evil Omens: 7”
Coyote Slingshot is apparently a one man band, made up of teenager Dom Rabalais from Iowa. The cover of the 7” is a watercolor painting of him, with a feathered headdress (normally I’d take offense at someone playing Indian by wearing a headdress, but at least he’s from Iowa, where the Plains Indians who wore feathered headdresses resided.) and a sleeveless T-shirt with Black Flag bars, but with Neutral Milk Hotel’s name across the top: a quirky juxtaposition. And while those two names might be a good start in getting a feel for what Coyote Slingshot is about, they are definitely greater than the sum of those two parts. Coyote Slingshot opens up with “So Long Silly Rabbit,” with peppy piano plucking which bursts into dense, brooding synths, guitars loaded with fuzz and feedback, and vocals sung like a schoolyard rhyme. This becomes the template for the rest of the songs here. Definitely sharing in the jubilant irreverence of Neutral Milk Hotel and the rest of the Elephant 6 bands, but with a world-weary depth that normally wouldn’t be expected (by this grumpy old curmudgeon) of a teenager. This is a tremendous first release and I look forward to, hopefully, many more. –Jeff Proctor (Super Secret)
