during my last visit to the states, about 2 years ago, one of the highlights was definatly a night long visit to SCOTT FOUST's house! john shaw took us there and explained from before what it was gonne be like, we would be seated down in a confortable couch while "the last great man" would stand up next to a pedastal with some quality whiskey, dope and cigarettes on it, sporting a mono coloured suit and sunglasses (day and night) while foust is telling stories about different art records, and mainly his own work, ranging from short films, visual work and audio since 1978! it was exactly how shaw explained it.
i was blown away by the honesty and the effort him and his ladyfriend KARLA BORECKI put into their work, and how little response they get to it. we shared a common interest in arrogant "pop" quality, and especially the situationists, to which he relates his work to in only a esthetic way!
i think it is a quality in people when u can't devide their work with their persona, idea fire company is a collective of people that definatly swing that robe! beautiful carpets of radio bleebs and static, piano (karla borecki is a trained pianiste) and almost kraut like synth ambience.
comes in a mono coloured sleeve by dennis tyfus full of dots, and comes with an insert.
