This is the first split cassette from We Be Friends. I’ve known Drew Gibson, the personhood of Two Steppes, since we were 20 and I used to book Greyon Greene. Back then, Drew played in Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk and by the time we were roommates he had a solo project called Katrina Stonehart. Eventually, I put out a Greyon Greene tape during one of Drew’s ‘I quit music’ phases. I didn’t used to know what this statement meant, ‘I quit music’. I used to always think, ‘how is that even possible? you mean you’ll never touch another instrument?’ For me this was unfathomable. Making music is one of my greatest joys, but the statement was being made a lot by renowned and unknown musicians alike during the rise of streaming and social media metrics. This new era vastly altered the world of DIY and our methods of engaging with the world and each other. I now understand this sentiment as a step back from the commercialization of music. Most of us started making music because it was fun. Our desires were pretty simple. We wanted our friends to like our music and maybe eventually to travel around and perform with and connect to other weirdos across the weirdo map. Maybe build something new. Somewhere along the way though, we were coerced or tricked into thinking that there was something beyond that. ‘I quit music’ is a chance to tell the suits ‘leave me alone, I do this for fun’. This music and the method of its making reconnects why a lot of us started, because we simply wanted to feel ‘free’. You can follow the link in our bio to hear the album in its entirety at our bandcamp. Be well! :)

When eliza first sent me the new The Worm Turns album, I ended up listening to it four times in row while I worked in my studio. It really helped me complete a lot of tasks that I’d been putting off. I think this is because for me, there’s something about the pacing and drive of the music that helps me forget about or transcend time. I still experience this when I turn it on. You can hear The Worms Turns new album called ‘Drip Combination’ today at our bandcamp. Cassettes are available as well. Link is in the bio :)
