about

Fugitive. Elusive. Unclassified.
Deconstruction. Undecidability & eternal interplay. Independence. Unpredictability.
Wordswordswordswords.

We start out with anything. We shake it to the foundations. Lay bare. Reduce preconceptions to the minimum. Go.
Thus: we are a un-cover band.

Indeterminacy means to us, although (or because) it is in conflict with preferences (and we are all preferences).
