Illmedia: 'There is no pop idealism involved in the music of Back Bone Shiver. So damn modest too! Ideas launched from an Untidy Mind just trying to untangle the confusion. Have you ever been to a concert and seen someone just off in a corner dancing to the beat of his own drummer? That's what this music sounds like. The songs are constructed like a little kid playing with Lego. It's just gonna work no matter how you stack em'.
Frank Boner: Spenny, the obnoxiously talented singer / songwriter / guitarist behind Back Bone Shiver, Like all good assassins works alone.
Wouldn't wanna bore ya with the details. Let's just say that it's all very mysterious. It's made in the middle of the night by little elves with cute little hats and funny shoes. Some have beards, some don't. Recorded on dictaphones their cacophonous mixture of pots, pans and elastic bands is fed into a very large and rickety computer. The resulting sound is then filtered through a very small tea strainer.
True Story: A monkey is me only friend, he lives at the bottom of the garden, at night he climbs down from his tree and picks fights with squirrels and cats. Silly monkey. |
