Featured in the liner Notes by Angela Sawyer:
"They say that people who make avant garde music do it because they couldn't hack it making the regular stuff. In my case that is entirely true. Although I have a halfway decent sense of pitch, my timing has always been clunky as shit. I've been a musician for almost 20 years, and over that time I've improved very slightly, but I'll always be able to hear far finer rhythms than I can perform, and there will always be some degrees of rhythmic subtlety that I cannot hear at all.

Luckily, making stuff is usually just a matter of finding the overlap between things you like and things you can probably manage to pull off. So when I think about pop architecture, I think about the creepy frigidity of the Paris Sisters. And quaaludes, and going a week without having a conversation with anyone, and waltzes, and handheld recorders, and making soup out of melted crayons."

ANGELA SAWYER - After finishing a philosophy degree specialising in Husserlian phenomenology in the mid-1990s, writer and musician Angela Sawyer felt fully prepared to start astonishing audiences around the Boston area using her mouth, some broken electronics, toys & noisemakers. Impromptu squealing & gargling has become her specialty, and she’s released a steady trickle of small-run lps, cds, cdrs & cassettes over the years. She changes the names of her projects to suit her every whim, but longer running ones include Preggy Peggy & the Lazy Babymakers and Duck That. A recent lp release “A Short Visit To The City That Bleeds” is full of weird up-close intimate wordage and environmental activity recorded in and around a rental car parked in Baltimore, MD. Dennis Tyfus from the Ultra Eczema label says Sawyer is “the best living vocal artist”. You can also catch Angela doing stand up comedy around town, & she has been selling vinyl records in the Boston area for 25-odd years.
