DIAMOND MOUTH SURPRISE STADIUMS & SHRINES
ONE SONG is a continuous song, passed from artist to artist. Join Diamond Mouth Surprise and Stadiums & Shrines as we present a wholly new spontaneous musical composition in unbroken form.
For if anyone has written or said anything about Diamond Mouth Surprise, it was all with obscurities and conjectures; no one claims that they had seen it; from which it seemed like fables.
The Diamond Mouth Surprise is a power not a work. A struggle not a thought. Diamond Mouth Surprise is not in the throat. Diamond Mouth Surprise climbs through the soles of the feet. It is not ability but living style, ancient and spontaneous, blood creation. It requires a living body to interpret it, being forms that are born, die, and open their contours against an exact present.
Let processions be solemnized; let sacred stadiums and shrines be wrought; let them be covered with festive garlands.
ONE SONG
BLOOD REVENGE is Ben Felton’s love affair with guitar-generated drones and melodies. Through a heavily effected haze emerge songs that could be the soundtrack to your underwater field trip into the abyss.
