Album Notes

Time is not our fried collects material from the Band's early cassette and vinyl catalog: Subversives in the midst (Shrimper), Garagmelodies, Majik Tremelo and others. Many great reviews of this band can be found on the interwebs...

"The Bugskull project was started in 1992 by Sean Byrne in Portland, and was originally meant to be a private endeavour in the realm of avantgarde folk-rock. Two tapes were released for the Shimper and Eldest Son labels. A few years later Byrne was leading a trio, also called Bugskull, which included multi-instrumentist Brandan Bell and percussionist James Yu. In the meantime, Byrne had made a reputation as a surreal and dark songwriter with a fistful of increasingly popular singles. The gentle and intellectual minstrel of Fences/ Stiff As A Board (Road Cone, 1993) slowly mutated into the abrasive and dissonant experimenter of False Alarm/ Sunny Day Song (Quixotic, 1994), a master of bizarre orchestration (bells, violin, organ), and would soon mature as a shy and awkward Syd Barrett of the underworld with The Bloat (Ross, 1995), his most regular song so far.
