cs024sw007 The End of the Affair

A new, frenetic emotional tryst filled with dark and dense psychedelia. What was once the singular bedroom recordings of Daniel Schneider is now a full multi-dimensional band, backed by Adam Vida on drums (U.S. Maple), Gary Pyskacek on guitar and pedal steel, Jacob Smith on organ, and Sam Wagster (Cairo Gang, Fruit Bats) on bass. This is a fiery mix late 60s British folk, early 70s stoner psychedelia, outsider noise art, surrealism, film noir, and their own love of improvisation and experimentation.
“The End of the Affair” is a meditation on anxiety and the fleeting faces seen through the eyes of an aging folk troubadour. From the opener “Be This Way” one hears the worried notes of a man never finding the morning light, of never waking up… “The End of the Affair cuts past pretense, leaving one reflecting on the raw, naked realities of a relationship that just didn’t work… where notes of distrust culminate in a final night of furious passion,where you finally find acceptance within these tales of anguish and longing… This is psychedelic music stripped of artifice. Bitterness cast in beauty. Music for the true true anti-hero.
