Peeesseye and its many offshoots (Phantom Limb & Bison, Pee in My Face With Surgery, collaborations with Tetuzi Akiyama
and Stephen O’Malley, releases on Utech, Chocolate Monk, upcoming release on ArchiveCD, etc.) have been slinging mud
and clawing at the foundations of the experimental noise underground for a number of years now.
Commuting Between the Surface & the Underworld continues Peeesseye’s pattern of ignoring virtually all patterns but those
that spring forth from the swarm of earthquakes in their collective brain. Recorded following an unamplified tour of US noise
venues with groups including Nautical Almanac, Life Partners, and Sharks With Wings, this record brings vocals, a more
pronounced rhythmic pulse and piles of acoustic instruments to the foreground alongside the waves of electronic density that
have characterized past releases. Guests on Commuting Between the Surface & the Underworld include three frequent
collaborators of Peeesseye: Clare Cooper, the Australian harpist who adds pedal harp and guzheng (Chinese harp) to two
tracks; trumpeter Nate Wooley, who adds brass on “Distant Mud;” and the reclusive conceptualist Shawn Edward Hansen,
who provides additional percussion and vocals to two tracks. The resulting record is a perverse twist on spaced rock and
post-noise ritual – mayhem in the mansion, shivers in the shack.
Peeesseye’s unclassifiable music has been variously characterized by certain sage voices as “coming off like a punk rock
AMM” (Edwin Pouncey, the Wire), “a deep black/bleak folk ritual, with the good sense to not call itself by some ‘adjective
folk’ genre name,” (Blastitude) and like “a slightly more western canon focused Sun City Girls” (Volcanic Tongue).
