Brain on a train to the mother land Bathe in the rain of my homeworld and you’ll understand I found my place in the dog parade But nobody knows, which way it goes Leash on a freak on a Ferris wheel Free to be free for the time be an electric eel Meat on the street on your feet You’ve got a lot to be thankful for and nothing at all Tell me a story One that won’t make any sense It is sure to offend someone we just do what the audience says If I turn up the reverb And mumble my way through the rest We can all put our minds at ease Which would probably be for the best

Old King K. put his soul in an egg The egg in a duck, the duck in a rabbit The rabbit in an iron chest, which he buried under an oak tree on an island far away.

about

Hi it’s me Nolan again. This time I’m pleased to present for you: EGGBOUND, a collection of music neither planned nor polished; containing a multitude of different sounds, united only in their inability to fit cohesively anywhere else. In my mind it’s sort of the sonic equivalent of a decades old wad of gum under the bleachers. Colorful, amorphous, abandoned material; chewed up and spit out soon after its immediate enjoyment wore off. I don’t remember writing or recording several things in this collection and was rather delighted (occasionally embarrassed) to discover them again. Some of the album I wrote four years ago. Some of it was written by someone else 100 years ago and recorded by me recently. Some of it consists of long form improvisation, on my own one-instrument-at-a-time or with a single collaborator. Much of the material consists of first takes. I’m of the opinion that there’s not enough immediacy in music today. I want to use a mistake over and over again til it becomes a part. I want to compose on the fly with whatever limited musical language I have control of and live comfortably with the results.
Of course, many of these compositions are absolutely godawful and should never see the light of day, most of them don’t. Maybe some of these songs qualify for that category, but I couldn’t give less of a fuck in this instance. EGGBOUND, it seems, was always meant to be what it is. So here it is!
