about

The new Two Bicycles record is one of the most personal records I’ve made to date. Even though there aren’t any vocals on the record, I feel that I’ve expressed myself more clearly than I have on any other release I’ve done. Although this is a “side project”, I take these songs as seriously as I do the songs for the Teen Daze project.

The record tells the story of a night spent at sea. The beauty and hope that comes with the watching of the sun set, swimming in the moonlight and looking back at life back on land in fondness and happiness. But as the night falls, and the endless ocean reveals itself as the chaotic, exilic wilderness, the main character begins to feel isolated and on edge. The ocean can bring both optimism and fear, hope and loneliness.

The album was recorded in my bedroom, at the base of Mt. Cheam in Chilliwack, BC, from November 2010 to January 2011.

about

Crash Symbols began in 2010 on a West Virginia porch while Born Gold and Jheri Evans crashed at the home of Dwight Pavlovic ... more and Liz Toler. It’s life quickly began with tapes from Hear Hums and Foot Village, following the success of Dope Mountain Fuck, the first in a series of “Dope Fuck” mixtapes. Bear in mind our good intentions and we’ll give you some tapes. Maybe you can play them in your car. less
