Sole album – so far – from the psychfolk supergroup, featuring members of Comets On Fire, Espers and Assemble Head In Sunburst Sound
Noel [Von Harmonson] and I had this improv unit called Wicked Mace, and when friends would come to town on tour we’d do a jam with them. Meg [Baird] moved out to San Francisco to be with her boyfriend Charlie [Saufley], who’s an old friend of ours, so we thought it would be fun to get those two together for a Wicked Mace thing. We went to Charlie’s rehearsal space and the jams were just coming so fast and furious and so intense and fully formed… It immediately had its own personality and a couple hours later we had all these recordings. It was so amazing to us, we were like, “This has got to be a band.” That whole record was so fucking easy, I don’t remember us labouring over very much of anything. We kept the music simple and let the vibes speak for themselves.
