Album Notes

Pilesar (pronounced pie-LEE-zur) is a percussionist and songwriter who specializes in creating quirky soundscapes, idiosyncratic pop ditties, rhythmically dense improvisations and wildly eclectic live performances. Instrumentation may include drums, voice, toys, electronics, loops, broken effects pedals, borrowed instruments, thrift store finds, tapes and various environmental factors. As both a soloist and collaborator, Pilesar has released dozens of fiercely independent recordings on his DIY label, Chameleon Dish Archives. For fans of Ween, Boredoms, Ruins, Zappa, Butthole Surfers, Tom Waits and much more.

Radio Friendly is an oddball assortment of some of his favorite and most accessible songs from the period of 1998-2010. Recorded in a variety of locations with all manner of questionable equipment, Pilesar’s debut will be sure to confound as much as delight.
