The Concussive Caress...

Khaela Maricich is the Blow, also known to some as Get the Hell out of the Way of the Volcano, also a member of the Dub Narcotic studio gang. Her last album was "The Bonus Album," which was recorded in a cave; it made a simple case for living. Now we have the more complex examination of the human condition post-American century style. Yes, "The Concussive Caress" is an affirmation, but only after trial by fire. A bold move was made, evolutionarily, out of the cave and over to the Dub Narcotic 16-track tape deck, where Khaela recorded this entire album, producing it herself, with guest appearances by a few friends: Susan Ploetz, Anna Oxygen, Mirah, Nora Danielson, Jason Anderson, and Jenn Kliese.
