To Suggest that Prayer is Pious would be misleading.
No, we can't say that Prayer advocates the religion church but they do stay out late and absorb. Before Guliani shut down all the cool New York Punk Rock clubs there was this rumor that the secret basement of Coney Islan High was a refuge for teenage vampires. One time we actually went down there. There were no vampires, but that was the first time we'd ever heard Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. It kinda changed our collective life.
Such as it was back then.
One time, during detention, we inadvertently poisoned ourselves with an anti-psychotic medication. We'd try our absolute hardest to rise from our chair and escape the room, but were unable to get any father than thirty feet down the hall before instantly being stransported back to said chair. It took eight hours to make it onto the bus home.
By the time we'd graduated college, we'd aged an unfair amount and driven ourselves more than a bit looney.
To this our music was a testament.
Our music is popular music. Popular music insprired and informed by something unavoidable and totally aweful and true. And it fucked us up worse than any drug.
With this fiery impetus, the kids have set out to inhabit the space where the philosophes of The Wu-Tang Clan, Radiohead, Ennio Morricone, Rush, and Whitney Houston overlap. Fronted by a vocalisted that invokes the ghosts of classic-era Bowie and Mariah Carey, the six man-children have recored an album. The Audio Testimony of a Dying Cripple Healed By The Hand of Jesus Christ. is a metropolitan discotheque-dancehall earthquake/earthrape that celebrates tenuousness, uncertainty and the church that is the city.
