Friday, May 25, we release our new album, FIX HISTORY, on vinyl and digital via Wild Klamath Records!  And we’re taking it on the road this summer - we can’t wait to see our favorite corners of this country.  Major thanks to the folks at WKR, Lalaland Studio in Louisville, KY, and Joel Nanos at Element Recordings for helping us sculpt this strange collection of songs into something tangible.

Teach Me Equals Joins Wild Klamath Records

1/19/18  Teach Me Equals are very happy to announce that they have joined the Wild Klamath Records family. Their new LP Fix History will be released later this year. At times fearlessly oblique, and often intentionally challenging, on Fix History the experimental pop / post-classical duo craft music at turns intimate and grandiose. The rough-edged shag of found sounds - pioneered by the musique concrète movement and carried forward by German industrial pioneers Einsturzende Neubauten(particularly the expansive minimalism vs abrasive noise aesthetic of the early Strategies Against Architecture period) - is balanced by a twisted, precise elegance that simmers and slithers underneath. Gaze into the sonic mudslide long enough and you'll catch flecks of melodic geodes glinting within the pile of rubble, hinting at a hidden beauty waiting patiently to be discovered. Characterized by the unorthodox use of electric stringed instruments, live loop manipulation, and textural rhythmic washes, Erin Murphy (guitar, violin, vocals) and Greg Bortnichak (cello, programming, vocals) have been building a reputation for relentless touring and merciless live performances since the 2014 release of their debut LP Knives In The Hope Chest. Fix History is a fully immersive listening experience that runs the gauntlet of human emotion. Bortnichak writes: "This record is a meditation on the active construction of truth; how that works, who it empowers, and who it oppresses. The title is not a call for heroism, but for conscientious reflection on and formation of the narratives we embrace and disseminate in everyday life. It is a call to question not only where you fit in in the big picture, but how and where you wish to actively mark the canvas itself." Wild Klamath Records is the creation of master crocodile wrestler Joe Boyer and expert demolition expert Chris Martin. Based out of Cleveland, Ohio and Willow Creek, California. Launched in 2017. We pay homage to Sam Cooke and Hunter S. Thompson. Our music is wild. Our ideas are Klamath. Listen to a record. Climb a damn mountain.

Today is Veterans Day, let's focus our energy on honoring those who fought and gave their lives, limbs, and peace of mind to ensure certain American "freedoms" for the rest of us: free speech, freedom of expression, and freedom from persecution for our personal convictions to name a few. With that said, please understand that a president-elect who claims that protests against appointing lobbyists in his cabinet are "unfair" is quintessentially un-American and an affront to the ideological cornerstones that this nation was built upon with the blood of American soldiers. See you in Ft Wayne IN at @brassrailfw with conceptual pitchforks in hand. <3
