T.I.T.S. [LP]

Sur Drone's debut LP, T.I.T.S. is a collaboration by renowned graphic artist RAYMOND PETTIBON and avant-garde composer DANIEL ADAMS. Together, they created an unusual musical album full of lowbrow grit and high-concept levity. Raymond supplied the graphics, wrote the lyrics, and performed as lead vocalist. Daniel wrote and produced the music, played guitar, and recorded it to 24-track analog tape. When indie legend GEZA X first heard the results, he gasped "This is dynamite!!" and immediately signed them to GEZA X RECORDS. He reeled in his longtime friend LISA FANCHER (head of illustrious FRONTIER RECORDS) to co-release this high-profile project. Pettibon's BLACK FLAG and SONIC YOUTH record covers are well known to any record buyer. A self-taught artist born in Tucson, Arizona, Raymond Pettibon emerged in the late 1970s on the California punk-rock scene, designing covers and flyers for SST Records (founded by his brother, Greg Ginn). He began self-publishing his drawings, which adopted the DIY aesthetic of comics, flyers, and fanzines. His name became synonymous withpunk art. Today, Pettibon's modern art museum pieces draw from a wide range of sources, including literature, art history, popular culture, religion, politics, and even sports. The other half of SÃœR DRONE is Daniel Adams, a multidisciplinary conceptual artist who composed soundtracks for Roger Corman and others. He's a composer, producer and film director based in Los Angeles, California. Adams' guitar work covers a broad range of sounds, from surf-styled electric guitar and drones to circuit-bent noise. As a songwriter, his music is a whimsical, rollicking party featuring many guest artists.
