I may end up with egg on my face for this one because I’m assuming this band is from Nashville based entirely on their Bandcamp tag stating such but anyone that describes their music as “Created for orgy sex and commune shaving & Bear Cubs” gets a pass from me.
If you’re going to dive into this amalgam of styles – electronic, hypnotic, ramshackle cacophony, drug fueled quest – it’s probably best to start with Pillow Archer, as it is the more legitimate “official” recordings of the two. However, Freak Lessons captures the first recorded sessions from the band and is what I originally encountered from the band so I’m sticking with it as my recommendation.

What Is Open House?
Just a heads up; when you see Open House listed in the calendar sidebar (or anywhere in Nashville event listings) they’re likely referring to a Corporate Juggernaut promoted stand-up comedy open mic night, not an open tour of the facilities. If Open Mic Nights sound like a terrifying experience you should know that Nashville has a surprising number of great comics. Will you be experiencing side-splitting laughter the entire time? Probably not. Will you legitimately laugh, heartily, more than once? Definitely.
So, keep your eyes peeled for Open House events, Corporate Juggernaut endorsements and more legitimate comedy taking place in Nashville.
