#derridada

What do La Monte Young, William Basinski, JFK, Stars of the Lid, Boris, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, Alvin Lucier, Marcel Duchamp, Piet Mondrian, the Anabaptist Revolution of 1534, Steve Reich, Sonic Youth, Pablo Neruda, The Velvet Underground, Frederich Nietzsche, Oval, Explosions in the Sky, and, of course, Jacques Derrida all have in common? They each represent but one strand in the tangled mess of fabric holding this debut Derridada record together. By weaving the poetry and classical melodicism of keyboardist Brittney Currie into the drone and noise energy and obsessions of drummer Daniel Mattioli, as well as the penchant for gorgeous walls of sound in guitarist Gabriel Lonsberry, Derridada has crafted an experimental record that both inflicts mass tinnitus and rings with the inspired amateurism and emotional sincerity of punk rock. Recorded live off the floor at St. Petersburg, Florida’s Fuzz Factory, our tracks are long and demanding, but take their time in reflecting the entire weird, year-long journey we have been on together as a band over this past year, renting warehouse spaces in the industrial zone of Tampa for alcohol and coffee-fuled all-night creative sessions, lots of telescopic stargazing during band practice smoke breaks, playing frightening shows at weird meth dungeons alongside a bunch of bizarre, redneck performance art (seriously), and so much more. It’s a cool record, and we think you’ll love it.
