Ball of Wax 68 Songs: Squanderers – “Musics of the no sex trio #4”

One day (I’m not sure when), a musician (I’m not exactly sure who) found a copy of Ball of Wax Audio Quarterly (I don’t know which one) while flipping through the shelves at the St. Vincent De Paul thrift shop in Port Orchard, Washington. Some time later, one of his collaborators began submitting odd and delightful sounds – quite possibly produced via musical instruments procured at that very St. Vincent De Paul – to this here audio quarterly, and, well, here we are. Squanderers, however they came to us, clearly belong here. The sense of delight in experimentation, in making noises together and seeing what works, in finding out what strange and satisfying sounds you can wring from (according to their liner notes) $12.50 worth of musical instruments, is palpable and infectious. Thank you for finding us, Squanderers! I’m looking forward to hearing more.
