While the stage presence of the band is relatively calm, the visual accompaniments filmed and edited by drummer Dave Sumner provide textural kinetics, without actually overpowering the complex rumble the band creates.

Nearly all ideas and inspiration surrounding the project, from the name to album concepts, have come out of a mutual fondness for the absurd and almost entirely under the influence of jazz cigarettes.

Lo-Panning is another nod back FORMAT: LP to the John Carpenter movie that inspired the entire project (Big Trouble in Little GENRE: NOISE / BLACK / China) and the David Lo Pan character in particular (played by James Hong in the AVANT GARDE film).

Simply denoted “Part I” and “Part II,” both sides of the LP successfully capture the hypnotic, enveloping vortex of David Lo Pan’s ancient raw powers. A subtly constant and humming melody anchors both sides almost like Tracklist: a raga, as Eyestone and Haley blast and churn compositional improvisation across the sonisphere. The results are a deliberately glacial and powerful presence seeping and oozing away from the melted minds of the creators and into the listening rooms 01. PART I (13:27) of the new hosts of these diabolical spirits. Packaged in a hand-screened, 6-color 02. PART II (11:06) print featuring an original Eyestone illustration of David Lo Pan, only 150 copies of the first pressing exist for consumption.
