Portland's finest drone-rock trio, somewhere between the murky depths of Xpressway glory (think Dadamah) and good Sonic Youth, with hand percussion, squeaky toys, prepared guitar, and internationally-inspired guitar work.
Five years ago, three days after Christmas the Taken Girlsgot together for their second to last jam session (their last one was on Valentine's Daynight onKBOO) Jacob Anderson (Tape Mountain & Gang Wizard), Dan Cohoon (Moral Crayfish & Montgomery Park) and Eric Matchett (Turkey Makes Me Sleepy) rocked the Sky Pad one last time. What was produced is the most straight ahead rocking to date (if you think 12 min songs are straight ahead). The album is called EASIER THAN HOPE (as in, it is easier not to have hope).
This is a co-release between Field Theory Recordings (Dan's imaginary label) and Tape Mountain(Jake's imaginary label). We are pulling a Radiohead and giving away the digital stuff for free. If you must poses a physical object we will be able to accommodate you shortly. We will be doing separate packaging, so why not collect both. Please check out the links below for future updates.

Hope the holiday season is treating you well! I thought I’d let you know that I have a new Poetry CD coming out next year featuring translations of the Chinese master poet Du Fu. The label that released it is offering a pre-release digital preview to accompany my book Facing the Moon. Details can be found at http://brokenelectric. com/merch. htm
Every time that we write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/video engineering process... Something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... Something is healing all over...
