DISASSOCIATION - LOSING IS A LUXURY

The Disassociation is a collective made up of all five members of Refrigerator, Amy Maloof of the band Falcon Eddy, author/bassist Jonathan Lethem and artist/musician Sam Sousa. Their first record is comprised of material written and shared over the last five years and recorded over one long seventy three hour weekend. It is called Losing Is A Luxury. Some songs feature one member, some all eight, as the mood turns from stoic Tammy Wynette to Shambolic ESP Godz/MIJ Yodeling Astrologer before circling back to NZ circa 1985. This is no side project, no "eclectic and organic album", it is a f***ing electric shut down. The band is a true collective with members bouncing from instruments, vocals and songwriting duties. The seed of the project was a song that Maloof recorded for Lethem and Sousa's weekly radio show on KSPC. Lethem, who has written lyrics for Lee Ranaldo, Walter Salas-Humara and a myriad of others, does the same here, but also plays and sings, while his radio co-host sings a gruff Lee Hazlewood/Ann Margret duet with Maloof. Refrigerator offers both knee play balladry and some bright cherry shoulda been AM pop leanings on the record as members back up or step out with the collective of The Disassociation. The band is doing three shows on the west coast and two shows on the east coast as well as multiple pop up shop variants of satellite versions of the band that will feature two to seven members, across the states throughout the spring and summer.
