about

“Lost in space and time in conversations between Marshall in Bangkok, Thailand and myself in Brooklyn, NSW. Talking about creating some tunes for a re-imagined Ya Ya Choral, hell yeah and mostly no. Urghhh, I always hated that name, but alas, at the time we maintained democracy. They say tinkily bonk and an ironic disposition is dangerous for your health. Love lost but never forgotten. Together we gazed into the abyss and Nietzsche winked back, oh well - lets just go on - life is just so much fun.”

The original intention was to entertain the idea that this could possibly be another ‘re-imagined Ya Ya Choral’ (YYC) project.

YYC had been in hibernation, since Fiona and Michael pulled the plug in 1994. Prior to this YYC had been through a number of guises, from Tinkily Bonk in 1982, to art damaged Motown, to Hush and TMG inspired punk/metal to buzz pop in the 1990’s, each time always in the wrong place at the wrong time.

We were thinking of doing something more doom tempo, improvised and perhaps with potential to be theatrical or even art damaged cabaret.

Instead, we ditched the clutter, stripped it back and just embraced the doom tempo and started to lament over friends, family and loves lost, while we cherished the love that still thrives and endures in our lives.

In 2019, the first song worked on was ‘Morning Song’, written by Marshall in Bangkok with voice, percussion and Kyoto. Michael brought in doom tempo and drones and ‘rearrangements’. Next up was ‘Protester’ written by Michael in Brooklyn NSW on the shores of a stream of consciousness along the Hawkesbury River in a building that used to be a convent, Marshall contributed surf and ambient guitar. A couple more songs followed and then they got distracted, the energy lost.

Michael focused on Scattered Order, A Cloakroom Assembly and a new project Space Therapy Robinson.

Marshall focused on his solo projects and WeatherStones.

Then in 2021, it all came together again quickly, as a project with a working title ‘Moose Rides a Bike’ and developed an odd coherence which surprised its creators. So they decided to finish it off.
Recording was completed in July 2021, with a cover of John Lennon's 'My Mummy's Dead'.
