about

My holiday single for 2020: music in search of a different world, with different desirings. Happy Halloween!

“Franny is listening to a program on wolves. I say to her, Would you like to be a wolf? She answers haughtily, How stupid, you can’t be one wolf, you’re always eight or nine, six or seven. Not six or seven wolves all by yourself all at once, but one wolf among others, with five or six others.”
--Gilles Deleuze, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

If one can excuse the hermeneutical looseness with which I’ve mobilized Franny and Gilles here, I’d like to extend heartfelt special thank yous to my fellow “wolves”:

Bob Drake, for his guest vocals and guitars,

bdstudio.bandcamp.com

& Bravo, for his cover art.

lyrics

The rarity of the argent moment--
We owe everything to the
Kinetics of the spirit-realm.
That it would seem to be
Only when the moon knows its own abetting.
That it would seem to be
Only when the ghosts know the silence of revolution.

O how History commands me--
I feel it in my paws,
I feel it in my teeth.
My jean-shorts tatter
To accommodate my sprouting tail.
And how the mercury just clings to my fur!
And how the mercury just clings to my fur!
And how we’ll have a smoke
Before we devour this town.

Scribe Wolf Roanoke, Virginia

Scribe Wolf is a rock and country project that avers itself as an index of thick traditionalism in proportion to the radicalism of its wager on singular technique. Most of all Scribe's songs--both originals and covers, with collaborators as diverse as Bob Drake and Dear Laika--forward this arcane definition: these are to be shot through with splinters of rock and country's forgotten neumes. ... more
