DEFENESTRATOR

by CARGOYLE

supported by

Leif Merrow A combination of Ween’s early, lo-fi efforts and elements of horror, heavy metal, trip hop, etc. This is a pretty sweet album and I’d recommend it to anyone with oddball tastes.

about

HERE'S THE LOWDOWN......................

(DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS, UNLIKE PAST CARGOYLE ALBUM DESCRIPTIONS, SERIOUS)

TO DEFENESTRATE IS TO THROW SOMETHING OUT OF A WINDOW. THIS ALBUM WAS MOSTLY FINISHED IN 2019, LONG BEFORE DOGFACE, THE DRUMMER FOR CARGOYLE ACTUALLY LITERALLY LEFT THIS WORLD VIA THE AFOREMENTIONED METHOD. THE IRONY AND SADNESS OF THIS (ALONG WITH THE ON THE NOSE SUBJECT MATTER OF PREVIOUS RELEASES IN HINDSIGHT) ALMOST MADE ME NOT RELEASE THIS, BUT EMBRACING THE DARK AND ABSURD IS WHAT THIS CARGOYLE PROJECT WAS (SUPPOSED TO BE) ALL ABOUT SO HERE WE ARE. MANY THANKS TO LAME EAR FOR STEPPING IN AND HELPING ME FINISH THE THING WITH DRUMS ON 3 TRACKS. SOME OTHERS WERE MADE WITH ME HAVING TO MAKE VERY LO-FI PERCUSSION MYSELF. THIS ISN'T QUITE THE ALBUM IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS. IT FEELS A BIT HAUNTED NOW, THOUGH. MAY THAT EITHER ENHANCE YOUR LISTENING OR CREEP YOU OUT. EITHER IS VALID, I SUPPOSE.

MY BEST FRIEND, DOGFACE.

An Erstwisle Alphabestiary: Book One
by Nick Prol & the Proletarians

supported by 5 fans who also own “DEFENESTRATOR”

Mind and heart expanding avant-prog that's creatively off the charts but ultra catchy as well. The musicianship is excellent but never overshadows the joy it sounds like everyone had while creating this awesome album. Can't wait for Part 2! Thomas Gelfer

I cant explain why I love this album, but I can say with reasonable certainty that I do. Canterbury insanity combined with pure creativity, topped off with hard prog here and there. Grievous Swoons
