Opus Oil Slick # Same Said

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
DARREN CALLAHAN is a phenomenal author, composer, and producer. Once the keyboardist with the criminally underrated pop band OO OO WA, he has gone on to pen two novels, an award-winning play for National Public Radio, and two critically-lauded discs of experimental/soundtrack/ jazz/noise/pop under the name TELEGRAPH.

KELLY MORELOCK is a studio wunderkind who has played almost every style of music imaginable. He's a hired gun, a student of Latin, Indian, and Celtic technique, and an avid collector. He has one of the largest and weirdest collections of drums and percussion instruments in the country. He worships at the arrangement altar of "Pet Sounds."

MATT HART is a published and renowned poet and rocker. Author of "Red, Not Read" (1992) and "Rooster Logic" (1994), he recently completed another full length collection entitled "Doused." He is also the editor of "Forklift, Ohio: A Journal of Poetry, Cooking, and Light Industrial Safety," and has written for and performed with Lookout Records' SQUIRTGUN and Starfish Records' CLIFFORD NEVERNEW, as well as the Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival.

Album Description
Assembled for your pleasure by three mad indie scientists: Darren Callahan, Matt Hart and Kelly Morelock. Snippets of languid, smoky jazz--trip hop beats with minimal basslines and dirty synth voices. Simply calling this a spoken word album would be an insult to both its creators and your intelligence. It is ever-changing, shifting musical styles, locations, and narrators at will. 16 genre-bending tracks. It's about movement, and it's about atmosphere, but mostly it's about interaction -- between the musicians, between the record and you, between you and your notions about the boundaries of contemporary poetry, music and literature. It's not as much about entertaining you, as you entertaining it. It's the soundtrack to a movie you'll never see, a video made for your stereo instead of your television. So close your windows and your eyes...Open your ears and your mind...Get ready to TRAVEL...

The beats. It's all about the beats. I don't know who else the drummer's played with, but these are the most toe-tappin' drumbeats I've ever heard. I'm a big fan of STARFISH as a label, and try to get everything I can. Every act on the roster is blistering. But hey, I'm bais to the struggling indies. Hear this record!

Completely amazing record -- full of clever hooks and strange headphone stuff. You feel like you've really experienced something when it's over. Timeless and original!
