Whenever Bhob Rainey and Greg Kelley can't seem to get
along, Jason Lescalleet comes by with his blissfully
lo-fi tape machines, cracked electronics, and cranked
amp to set things right. He takes nmperign's
sparse-lush-angular question mark and drowns it in a
murky, brown fluid, mixing up a menacing but
ultimately medicinal bath of rib-shaking,
electroacoustic pleasure.
The available recordings of this collaboration (_This is nmperign's 2nd CD_ Twisted Village 1999 and _In which the silent partner-director..._ Intransitive 1999) only hint at the extent and depth of the work these three have done together. This grave gap will soon be filled by their upcoming double CD on Intransitive Records, _Love Me Two Times_ (December 2004).
