The Horns of Early Earth resound with agonizing glee.
Purchase power for devout amoebae in the Precambrian age is steadily rising; the Committee glances back and lunges forward through the annals of time to derive truth towards the ends of a New Justice, one in which Earth’s oldest and most distinguished organisms may finally call the shots, as they were always meant to do. The neuro-protein magnates and scented-air empresarios gather around the fireside XM radio of humanity’s fading last days at the Beginning of History. I turned to hear that gurgling was in fact the Lunar Prospector doing his usual soft-ecoterror philosophy spiel: “...the circle will complete itself at the hacky sack biopower zenith, and there isn’t a single cool coral-eyed amoebic gumshoe out here that can do a damn thing about it.” And on and on, ad nauseum. This is real shoot-from-the-shell, slow and loose, adductor-muscular music here—straight-from-the-Pleistocenic-sludge and dripping with affectations of the Lunar Big Box Store Future. Acquire the Committee’s flagship product now and get in on the ground floor of the second Crustacean epoch.
100% of proceeds from Crustacean Committee will go to In Our Hearts, a New York City mutual aid network providing free community fridges, food distribution, and education + demonstrations against war, prisons & police. www.inourheartsnyc.org
