***“BUGSKULL, the solo project and sometimes band of Austin, Texas' SEAN BYRNE, returns with this stark and airy album of deeply personal songs born during the recent collapse of his marriage. It is a subdued and powerful album that I will not cheapen with anymore one sheet speak. It's honest music. We are honored to work with Sean again with his first new music in years, and happy to partner with our friends at Shrimper (who are releasing the cassette) and Almost Halloween Time (who are doing the limited vinyl). What else? There's a fantastic cover of Beck's ‘Lost Cause.’ Hey, we're all still alive!”—Scratch. CD version available on Scratch.

***The masterfully orchestrated and surreal pop of Portland, Oregon’s long-running song-oddballs takes a turn to the roots as mainstay SEAN BYRNE heads back to the bedroom where it all began seven years ago. The result is eight tracks of tape loops, odd-instrumentation and electronics all blended into a wonderous new form of outsider-pop. Previous releases on Shrimper, Scratch, Road Cone, Quixotic and Pop Secret were all met with smiling winks by those truly “in the know.” Atmospheric, pyschedelic and just plain nice.
