The Concussive Caress, Or, Casey Caught Her Mom Singing Along With The Vacuum

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.
