Hopefully someone else has heard these guys.

i'll vote not crap because some of the music is damn impressive. i can't really listen to more than a couple of the songs though.

I really enjoyed the overall weirdness of "The Spirituality." Most of the focus has been on Acquaman's unique guitar sound, but he also has a great and somewhat unexpected singing voice. Plus, they're incredibly nice guys. NOT CRAP.

heard of them. the aquaman guy is in another band called the forms. the forms are definitely crap. I heard good things about desert fathers but have yet to hear them. I am not too motivated to check them out. I will agree about the nice guys comment, though.

He is only the drummer in The Forms. So don't let that hinder any interest you have in The Desert Fathers.

Ha, I knew there was a thread about these guys here...

I finally tracked down a copy of The Spirtuality this past wknd and have already listened to it five or six times, forced mrs the c to listen and...wow, like you know when you have stumbled across something so original and unique that you are stuck w/ making silly compariosns in order to describe it, i.e. "uhhh like shellac crossed w/ flowery english psyche? maybe?" It the type thing you want to play for yr friends just you can have another person's perspective on it.


Do you know that feeling after you've eaten a monstrous stack of pancakes & syrup of pleasant calm that comes post-gorging, plus a sort lightheadness from all the sugar and you feel both at peace w/ the world and little floaty? that's sort of what this record is like...


I can't begin to fathom what this is like live

They were pretty good live but I have yet to hear more than a few songs off of their record.

I liked the songs on their record quite a bit in some places --- but the skits like with the old man talking were kind of annoying.

We played with them in Montreal last Oct. Kinda meh live--loud for loud's sake--but the venue was this weird bar with a half stage/half plywood-covered-pool-table with no real sound system and their drummer (which would have made them the Forms-whom we were initially s'posed to play with) got bonged at the border by the SQcops may have meant they were incapable of bringing their "A" game that eve.

Classical's reaction makes me curious to hear the record. I shall give them fair-shake#2 for getting border stomped.
