about
Dionysus, Pan, Loki, John Belushi, whatever name you choose for the spirit of the mischievous prankster, and the bounty of the harvest. It comes down to a celebration of life here on the ground. Why should the divine be an exclusive dinner party, when the sacrament hangs on the vine? We look towards celebration as an escape and simultaneous embrace of the troubles of the world. Bacchus had his barrel, but we have modern convenience! The blood of our lord now comes in a box.
lyrics
Pull out a box of Jesus
Crack open your savior in a can
Pour out his grace, one ounce at a time
Liver’s washed in the blood of the lamb
Crack open them saltine crackers
throw a loaf of Velveeta on the board
It’s Costco-sized, so eat your fill
Every bite is a piece of the lord
Chorus
Trade in that warm tap water
Toss out that moonshine in the pail
Fill up a pint from that cardboard tap
Turn you solo cup into the Holy Grail
Chorus
At supper his blood turns to Cabernet
As he lays out his body on the dish
Judas likes to moonlight as a Sommelier
Thinks a Pinot would go better with this fish
Chorus

A truly sublime & dark concept album by these heroes of Sonoma County. A twisted retelling of the Pied Piper, originally performed on stage as a musical. This album keeps all of that theatrical mojo. Modus Opera & Eye
The Queen of Queer Country strikes again! You can almost smell the booze soaked wood of the bar & the dust on the boots of the barfly as Cindy Emch blends lyrics of heartbreak with the tap of the toe Modus Opera & Eye
Surrender yourself to the Faun Fables. Keeping things hauntingly beautiful in the Bay Area for a couple decades now, this album will leave you looking for something you didn't realize was lost. Modus Opera & Eye
Composer and multi-instrumentalist Robert Stillman takes a magnifying glass to American self-image on his latest avant-garde work. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 25, 2022
A haunting, beautiful, autobiographical record that uses samples of old gospel records to wrestle with faith and unbelief. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2021
