Loose Bugs

Sax blowing, cymbal scratching, upside-down bicycle with a wooden stick-in-the-spokes free jazz, analog tape spinning forward and backward while broken stringed gourds are quietly plucked, a perfectly contented demon child occasionally mumbling, a tribe of self-proclaimed psychic gamblers blowing Thai flutes. Loose Bugs documents the first few months of Sunburned Hand of the Man's formation, recorded on Vestax 6-track with overhead hanging mics at Con-Artist loft in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1998. In hand-packaged and numbered card jackets, covered inside and out with hand-carved stamps.
