This 7" features a track off of the long anticipated first release from the musical partnership of Brad Hamers & PZ (Big Pauper). The A-side, "School Play From a Cloud's Left Lung," sums up the collabo nicely.....low fidelity, rough edges, abstract wordplay, dreadful elegance, etc. Few vocal takes scold tape recorders quite like Brad's do, and very few people can play the guitar with a mu'fuckin spoon quite like PZ can. School Play, case in point.  School Play features Shannon Rose Steele on violin.  The B side features a 7" exclusive collabo between the Sloth boys & Token Recluse’s very own Unconventional Science entitled "Elephant in Two Pieces." We have no plans of releaseing this anywhere else, so do the damn thang!
They only pressed up 500 of these so once they are gone they are gone.
