May 2nd, 2009 - Meat Draw
MeatDraw’s second release “Fin Du Monophone” was birthed in the early spring of 2008, the temperature just above freezing point, in a one-room barn on an old Vancouver Island commune. Recorded by Colin Stuart (Black Mountain, Veda Hille), this sophomore undertaking is a catchy, hand-clapping hallelujah, a worthy follow up to MeatDraw’s 2006 self-titled debut heralded as a “flamboyant expression of the musically bizarre”.
With any project the band has its dirty hands in, be it a new video or its infectious, barely keeping it on the rails live show, an underlying theme ties the whole experience together. MeatDraw’s lean, mean pop-alyptic “Fin du Monophone” is no exception. Thematically, lyricist Marco Bozenich draws from Russel Hoban’s 1980 novel “Riddley Walker,” a story set in a post-Apocalyptic world and told through the broken language of a young boy. “The whole language is drawn from all these random books that the author decided to integrate into the story, so the language is so bizarre,” Bozenich describes. “There are little bits from the Bible and little bits from random novels that together create their own version of history.”
We held our breath under water until we passed out. When we hit the bottom of the lake our bones were beating in unison. Lost out in the middle of nowhere changing tires with indiglo beams. Based outta Shawnigan Lake, these 3 ruggedly handsome, chiseled bodied, well educated, stunning, cultured, luscious wavy brown haired, icy glacier, Caribbean Atlantic blue eyed, filthy rich, open minded, open eyed, open eared, open hearted, young single (and wanna mingle) LEGENDS have brought together birds and bee's, God and Satan, life and death, ying and yang, night and day, East to West, Good and Bad, up and down, earth, wind and fire, creating the sounds of cetaceans, thunder storms, streams flowing into a waterfall, a pin dropping in a compression stacked auditorium, a ninja running on a huge keyboard (like at science world or on the movie "Big") to form Listening Party!
