"Band Bio: We are Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death, but you can call us triumph of lethargy. This is a project. But not a side project. We (Corey Brewer and Myself) started the band after the break-up of The Murder City Devils. So, I guess this was a couple of years back. I asked Corey after seeing his other band "Bright Shiny Objects". We were already friends from touring together in MCD. At that time Corey went by merchbot2000. Triumph of Lethargy is a true collaboration. Aside from the violin which is played exclusively by Corey we both make sounds and play whatever. Often after mixing is finished I have no idea who did what(thou it should be said Corey did most guitar on this record). For me Triumph of Lethargy is a reaction to the limitations of the traditional rock band. I had it up to my neck with verse chorus verse. I wanted to explore some less musical sounds, eliminate the producer, and acknowledge the disconnect between recording and live performance. Also I wanted some one to drink PBR with in my basement. The Neil Young cover is the heart and soul of this record. It is at the core of what I wanted to be the loneliest sounding record in the world. Corey designed the cover art to remind folks of books put out by Black Sparrow Press. Specifically John Fante. enjoy - Spencer E. Moody" this is some weird/great/interesting music. very lo-fi approach, sort of ambient in most places, reminds me of sci-fi alien planets in others, very atmospheric and different. i haven't seen them live, so i have no idea why the reviews say they are loud - the recordings here are extremely mellow and tranquil (in a strange, off-putting way). |

wtf? When did Murder City Devils break up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

back in '01, unfortunately. :( never got to see them live. after they broke up, cody, spencer, nate and mike kunka (from enemymine and godheadsilo) were in a short-lived but incredible band called Dead Low Tide. unfortunately, their full-length album was very disappointing compared to their EP, 7" and live shows. spencer, mike and dan (godheadsilo) then formed Smoke + Smoke, whose mini-album came out last year and it is very good. but of course, this is all very different music from MCD, which was absolutely incredible. |

What a terrible and awkward name.. awful.. sounds like they just put a lot of words that sounded good to them together, and then added TO DEATH cause that's like, RAWWWKK, GRRRRRRRR. sorry, they're probably quite good or whatever, but christ. what a terrible name, i can't get over it. |

What time is your plane(crash)? |

i think it's due to the phrase "skinned alive to death" sounds funny, but the band name does sound kind of 'mashed together' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's probably more of a joke... and i think that it's kind of an amusing and clever name. |

The first track sounds like Radiohead on drugs. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
This is "tired music". (Vocal: :-/) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i don't hear the connection. please don't use the R-word here. |
||||||||
|
|

R40f, and btw. Radiohead make good music. Period. |

Sounds well saucy, I'm downloading the album now. I like their approach, I want to be in a band just like this. |
||||||||
|

You can be in my band. |

By: "Sounds like R. (...)" I meant not the actual sound, but general approach ant attitude, very post-modern. |

"I like their approach, I want to be in a band just like this. " pretty much exactly what i thought to myself the first time i heard this music! :D |

listening now, and it may just be the ganja talking, but I like this. |
||||||||

i like how the front page says "drawing by anna lord"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, and the music is quite good too, from what i've heard so far... thanks for posting this. |

R40f, what are your avators from? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
an x-men comic from the late '80's. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hang on… "drawing by Anna Lord"?! |
||||||||
|

Contrary to popular belief, not everything created in the world today is the product of AFX or Chris Cunnigham. |
||||||||

|
Incidently, this is the best album I ever heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's what they want to think… |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i have very good news for the few people who enjoyed this music. their CD, "Helpless" is excellent! i just got it and it is unlike any other album i've ever heard. beautiful and depressing and lonely. sort of like neil young's guitar getting dragged behind his car over a rocky grey mountain road. i think it's a best of 05 album for sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw, i got it in decent condition (used) for $1 on amazon.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The downloads still seem to b e there. Awesome. Thanks arf :D |

"like neil young's guitar getting dragged behind his car over a rocky grey mountain road." contender for quote of the year! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i will say that the "lost album" that's downloadable there is quite a bit different from Helpless. |
