Friend/Enemy

10 Songs CD/LP

Perishable Records January 1, 2002

Recorded and mixed by Graeme Gibson at Clava and The Slabb, Chicago

Friend/Enemy is 2002's release from the confounding and prolific collective that brought us Cap'n Jazz, Joan of Arc and Owls. Spattering, loud, wild and moody. Lyrical twists forming scenarios previously unimagined.

Songs began with a loose foundation of guitar and vocal parts from Tim Kinsella and Todd Mattei and were built up from there with drums, bass, banjos, pianos and all manner of noisemakers and ghosts by this stellar group of musicians:

Tim Kinsella - guitars, singing, etc (Joan of Arc, Owls) Todd Mattei - guitars, singing, etc (Joan of Arc) Jim Becker - pedal steel, banjo (Paulina Hollers, Califone) Caryn Culp - backing vocals (Plastic Crime Wave ) Graeme Gibson - organ (Mansion) Emma Grace Ketner - backing vocals Zac Hill - drums (Hella, Team Sleep) Andy Lansangan - electric piano, marimba (90 Day Men) Nick Macri - bass (Euphone, The Zincs, Sunny Day Real Estate) Chris Powell - drums, percussion, piano (Need New Nody) Azita Youssefi - piano (Bride of No No) Sam Zurick - bass (Joan of Arc, Owls)
