in this debut album, outsider musician and singer-songwriter "thom" -- performing under the moniker "fair & sqr" -- provides a first-hand account of the present moment as it felt today, stuck: as if wedged between two twin monoliths that are all yesterdays and all tomorrows. in a sense, it is a memoir of life lived along an invisible boundary, just off the last exit, at the (city) limit where the infinite (and indifferent) wilderness begins. yes, this is "life and death in the suburbs". the album itself contains 9 tracks of lo-fi bedroom recordings: lyrical vocals dubbed over a wide variety of acoustic and synthetic instruments, each meticulously processed and arranged to form an undulating (textural) post-cyberdelic soundscape -- a new listening experience that the artist calls "maximalist ambient freak folk". the first and third persons hope you enjoy.
