about

Originally released in several parts, Misery And A Paycheck was the fourth offering from The Last Bastions, coming at a time of professional dissatisfaction, clearly. The first three pieces were improvised by the duo of Naked and Switzer on whatever instruments they had around, and then processed (usually involving slowing the track down, among other things). The next two pieces were remixes made of these improvisations, editing and chopping them as necessary to recombine them into something new. The last piece is a bonus track; it was not originally intended to be on this album, but thematically it fits in well. "Office Ritual" was recorded for a split record on Kurt Brennan's Fleece label, though that particular release did not come to fruition. The piece is based around a dot matrix printer.
