Brothers
from Florida who cradle their instruments like dead
rabbits, Andy and Edwin White now live in Montreal and New York.
Bluesy, psychedelic, electronic, a tough little boy who’s been thrown out of
his trailer, Tonstartssbandht works to open your heart with Crosby Stills Nash-,
Beach Boys-, Avey Tare-, Gregorian-, Fuck-Buttons-sweetness, then wraps it up in a steely, wool blanket
and, laughing, chucks it in a black river. You check our bleeding heart flying
down the dark current and notice the shores are lined by a thousand Allen
Ginsbergs of various age chanting, cloaked in moonlight, and music wafts through the warm
night on the odor of fried dough.
Listening to this music will be an
experience, especially late at night when the cats come out and you’re starting to feel a chill.
Tonstartssbandht released LPs in 2009 and 2011 and a special edition of 100
split cassettes with a Dirty Beaches B side in April.
