Political acoustic anti folk from SF’s Phil Dumesnil. Brief short tunes and short clear political messages. Extremely lo-fi aesthetics. This is a collection of 4 EPs ranging from 1998 to 2003 (see track-by-track). The first is the most politically relevant today. The second is a draft for a prison rock opera. The third consists of three covers. The last, as the sleeve says, “is 3 songs long”. Best and most relevant tracks are in the first EP. Favs: 2, 3, 6, 7 (FCC), 13, 14, 17, 21, 26. FCC:2,7,10,11,16
“America is Shit… Just Shit” EP
1. Intro.
(2) FCC. Guitar, accordion, nice mellow tune.*
(3) Ukulele strumming, recorder, cute lyrics (note the title), mid-tempo.*
4. Take on the famous kids’ song. Slow, mellow.
5. Mid tempo guitar strumming, clapping, “holes in the president’s head”.
((6)) Clear Channel bashing! Excellent. Heavy, acoustic strumming. **
(7). FCC. Of Patriots and privacy and war. FCC “We’re so fucked” but you can fade out after “the leader you did not elect” with 1:25 remaining (last 1:06 clean, as well). Mellow guitar and harp-like towards the end.*
8. Interlude.
“Chain me Good EP”
