"I wept--hearing the simplistic beauty of your lovely music." - Jim Nayder, NPR, The Annoying Music Show
Chipmonk started as an idea, a dream even, to create the most horrendous sounding music ever heard by man. Once the dream was in place 3 friends headed to a garage deep within the confines of "The Villas" armed with a 4 track recorder, some Radioshack microphones, an out of tune guitar, a broken drum set, and a nasty attitude. What took place that night was magical and soon grew into a Frankenstein-like monstrosity that was destined to take over the Cape May county area of New Jersey.
This music is improvisational, not even a key was chosen (we wouldn't have known what to do if a key WAS chosen). The "musicians" are playing instruments that they don't know how to play, literally. Every track was recorded live in 1 take without any care taken for sound quality. Song topics were chosen purely based on how offensive the topic could be.
