O.O.S. by Jan Strach

Jan Strach returns with a collection of songs gathered from his short lived "Out of Strach" project which presented each month a new short film, photos, a short story and two pieces of music. The songs were recorded between January and May and due to the time constraints JS had to go with the first inspiring thought that he got at the moment - whichgave some great and varied results. The opening track is based on the reversed melody of "Frere Jacques" but ends in a stoner feakout. There are atmospheric pieces about being followed by a woman driver and the death of dr Greene from the hit tv series "E.R."; a tribute to Opel Astra over 5 different melodies in 3 different genres. Apparent are irregular rhythms and non-obvious melodies which JS has much love for, and equally much amateur passion and diy spirit, as always on the Underpolen netlabel.

"Eddie Huragan" is dedicated to mr Eddie Palmer of the tremendous The Fucked Up Beat, who fought the hurricane.

"Suddenly a bird" was written to graduate the online songwriting course at Berkeley music school.
