about

.

Following a couple years of general madness, the incompetent dictator Nathan Roche decided to start writing songs instead of just plucking and smacking whatever in the basement. With the new line-up, bag full of songs plus a couple of shows at the university bar and art space under their belt, the boys entered the studio. Recorded by high school rich boy Dion Griggs in his mansion in Annandale (late 2007) the attempt was supposed to be some slacker version of “Forever Changes” by Love and “H to The He Who Am The Only One” by Van Der Graaf Generator plus a few nods to “Before And After Science” by Brian Eno.

Nothing went as planned and the result was less than admirable – If not highly embarrassing. Three months later Nathan Roche’s voice dropped and none of the songs could be sung the same way again.

Never the less, here they are in all their shambolic, poorly recorded, unstructured and rapidly conceived glory. Which set the standard for the six albums that followed these two. Before Marf Loth Loloply became just Marf Loth (due to a move to Sydney and solo endeavour) and before Marf Loth was finally abandoned six years later at the Flinders Hotel off Oxford Street in drunken defeat.

Here is where my life of regret began.
