about

NARCIN (narcan?) ON HEAVENS DOOR employs a certain batshit approach to powerpop and punk, emulating home-taping luminaries like The Coneheads/DLIMC, Jay Reatard & R. Stevie Moore while also channelling some genu-whine classic rockerz like The Cars, CCR & Big Star.

Multiple audible instances of blown 4-track tubes! Songs about killing rock and roll (again), hot guy behavior, & stagnation! The first Civils song ever written (my old friends, 2011) reborn again! The final CIVILS tape concieved and executed in Athens! The absolutely true story of "Scott Foster Played Tonite" - the Chicago accountant & amateur "emergency goalie" who, when called up to fill-in for his first/only professional hockey match w/ his beloved Blackhawks, pulled off a perfect performance & stole the show with 7 stops in 14 minutes. Some verbatim post-game quotes from Scott comprise the chorus.

"a few hours ago, i was just typin' on a ten-key....
now, look at me! i just finished 14 whole minutes!
that's something no one can ever take away from me"

Cole Monroe said the album title offhandedly and thus it was.

((NOHD is the 3rd consecutive mixtape of tracks culled from these "Autumn Worktapes" sessions; particularly between august 2017 - october 2018, I lived in a sort of self-imposed creative exile, working a screenprinting shop full-time in watkinsville (outside of athens, ga) while living in rural winterville, ga and operating a home recording studio in limited free time. Having taken awhile to reapproach writing music after touring duties with the group Mothers ate up most of my time between 2015 and 2017, decided the most pragmatic course of option was to arrange + demo every song i had written during that touring period - while also attempting to document a myriad of new songs as they materialized in real-time. At a very steady clip, I recorded every type & kind of song possible.

the first batch came out as BIRDS INERT (2018) which is more dub & rap influenced. next came the RAINBOW COWBOY COLLECTION (2019), which culled all the country/folk-inflected numbers from my home tapes under the guise of imaginary country-hunk BIRCH RICHMOND. this latest release, "NARCIN ON HEAVENS DOOR", is for my imaginary punk band SPILLS! next is probably the last themed release for awhile, GARY MASSAGE'S HUGE TEA - hard disco, glitched n' screwed >:)
