The Londoner arrived in town like a four-track Morricone with a bag of
cassettes and a book on elevator music under his arm. Alisdair Stirling was
working lo-fi nights with the Sensible Twins, Kato Adland and HP Gundersen,
in Gjoa studio, seventh floor, Industrihuset, Bergen, Norway.
A search for imaginary timbres was underway, and the trio were busy sampling cassette
demos, bending sounds through antique tape recorders and haunting the
stairwell outside the studio for night reverberation purposes as they
recorded batch after batch of songs. Early versions of these tunes had begun
to emerge from Stirling‚s house in south London in 1998, made on the bones
of junkyard equipment at night through a fog of hiss you could hear
upstairs. But what began as Stirling‚s solo project soon became a band.
Studio neighbours Jorgen Traeen and Yngve Saethre from Duper heard the
material early on and were first choice to mix the songs. Then Traeen joined
the band as remixer and live member. Gradually, a small, strange songbook
called No-Fi‚ took shape and the foundations of the House of Hiss were
laid. As an album,No-Fi‚ never saw the light of day, but the recording
sessions continued. Drums, piano, organ and harmonium textures and more
studio guests were added to the original mixture of guitars, Casios and
cassettes.
Around this time, Brazilian pop joined the growing list of production references
and Milton Nascimento and Lo Borges hugely generous
1972 album Clube da Esquina‚ stole everyones hearts and set a new template
for the sessions to come. Now it didn‚t seem to matter whether it was lo-fi,
no-fi, nu-fi or whatever. The attitude stayed the same as the House of Hiss
catalogue continued to grow. This album is the story so far. A big listen ˆ
21 songs, 21 musicians, all styles and dozens of thank yous, starting with
thanks for listening. House of Hiss 2006.

Persephone's Bees - SF Weekly "Best Pop Band"! SXSW stars! You love their song on the Bewitched film soundtrack! Poor Bailey - Live 105 favorites - playing at BFD, but you too can catch them NOW! The Bruises - SF Bay Guardian says: "elevating heartbeats with their wonderfully irony-free punk pop" Panda - Live 105 fave! Zero Mag says: "they're going somewhere big."
chariot asked me Why do they tell you its not about size.You and i know that is pure bull,I had an experience like this my self.Im going to tell you something that i was asked not to leak out but my so called friend hasent called me for sometime now since he's been busy.Ok he went from having a small yang to a monster in no time at all.he has put on three and a half inches in a short time ,an get this it's still getting bigger.He has been secretly taking these tabs from NOCKIN.COM copy and paste the address into your browser.I found out when I was at his flat, three saturdays ago, we were getting ready to go to the music shop, so while he was in the can, I went in his room, looked under his bed and found a bag with tabs in it, there was like eight full packs and four empty ones, all ordered from NOCKIN.COM I thought it was funny at first but then when he came out and saw me looking at them, he lost it and told me to never let his little secret out,especially chicks that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the honeys in the zone, when just a while back he was lost when it came to females.I diden't believe him until he layed it all on the table, I did see his stick and yes, it is huge,really huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering eight packs from the website at NOCKIN.COM for yours trully.. he does not have a web page, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the jells will work on any man, or they give you your money back,Im living proof that they do work on any guy, see for your self.NOCKIN.COM
