Code / DC719

Exurbian Quonset is a pure solo record -Mike created everything in the place, from voices and guitars to keys and space. It is pure pop music, as it has been played in dark, wet corners (and on the safety of cold, dry turntables) for the past half-century: the abstract-, post-, deconstuct- and auto-destruct- part of this genre, which is a full-grown branch of the rock and roll family tree! Mike's ouvre is stand-up tin-pan pop singer performance, wedding bubblegum ditties of silvery falsetto to cavernous sirens of noise; glitter rock peered at through a hazy, defocused lens. Exurbian Quonset sticks up like a fork in the road - it was drawn together as Mike prepared to be the last man from the old gang to leave SF, where he broke so many rules and new ground It's dedicated to the woman who married him and taught him both words in the title of the album - exurbian and quonset - and who he'll whisk away with to somewhere just like the title.
