”Hear ye, hear ye! I present to you The Hornbook, our third record! Believe it or not, it was a tough one to write but eventually, like Dante, I was led by a blind (well, half blind in my case) prophet to the golden ladder and along the way saw many things. Yes, I followed One Eyed Jack to the other side passed mortally wounded knights, dodged murderous ghouls and reached for jewels on the river bed, I peered over the cliff’s edge and saw the wicked stew of jagged rocks and spiny fish. And brick by brick by brick, I made a stack of songs and here they are for you to listen to, if you so desire.” -Gus

“Sense and non-sense belonging together as two necessary parts of the whole was the central message of Dada, according to Hans Richter, pioneer of the art movement. Reason and anti-reason, design and chance, consciousness and unconsciousness, these are the things that bring balance to a work of art, according to about half of the original dadaists. The other half believed in pure non-sense, that the greatest contribution the movement had made was to leave it all to chance, to embrace the chaos as a mysterious collaborator. Although I can find myself agreeing with both sides of the argument of balance vs chaos, it seems like Metal Detector is firmly rooted in chaos. I hope you enjoy it!” -Gus
