1.	Saw the Car Free 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Saw the car free Cupholder full of keys The bikes without locks Pileup on the sidewalk Flat black Gas crack Day break Barricade Angle grinders Meter dippers of Telegraph Give new meaning to gleaning Amass Silken relation sigh Start to vaporize
2.	Heads of State Roll 03:39	lyrics	buy track
Bugs Bunny and Bonanno United in struggle Bloody the compost Heads of state roll Buoyed like a body time lift wash Attentat Attentat Pinochio Kronstadt Ubu in a star cap Red brakes for black Somatic lifehack Rotting layers Of limestone Nothing there It’s a fetid headspace
3.	Hide Away 03:42	lyrics	buy track
Champagne cat in the window Suitcase tipped on its side White wall catches shadow Cloud breaks gray in the sky Forming an impression A signal is a weapon I’d like to hide away I’d like to get away on my own I’d like to get away I’d like to hide away in the ground I don’t know the language So what did you expect? Words are losing meaning They always disconnect Finding an impression A signal is my weapon I like to hide away I like to get away for awhile And when I’m scared awake I’m only wide awake for awhile I’d like to get away I’d like to hide away in the ground I like to hide away I like to get away for awhile
4.	Dossier's Missing 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Blind call Dry cold Dateline Cycle Present shadow Absent light Inner shadow Outer light Shooting cities Through the sky Slump down window Fire fly Bright line yellow Shots of the city In black and white Something unfurling A ripped inside
5.	Clod Clog 04:35	lyrics	buy track
Clod Clog a dirt clod dipped in ink splashin’ glass a county size cloud crash The stranger to strike Negotiation Skids in place Electric Five gallon Garbage Splish splash
6.	Wash Cycle (Dub) 05:20	lyrics	buy track
Notice to principle Is notice to agent Notice to agent Is notice to principle Who is my successor Assignee and possessor Who is my agent? Silence Trespass Under color of law Exaction Money Trespass trespass Silence What is applicable Who is my agent Authorized excuse $50,000 Constitutes Damages Here comes the wash cycle I am a finance vacuum

about

The clown car crashed into nuclear winter, so we chased shadows in our hideout. It was an intuitive process, like making Desire Choir, only with more limitations. A typical living-room percussion setup comprised snare, spatula, and plinky bolt. Every four-track mixdown cemented in place another layer of sedimentary noise, another vision of superseding our condition as human rentals. ‘Saw the Car Free’ imagines all of the converterless cars and lockless bikes of the city as avatars for an insurrectionary and communal subjectivity, while ‘Heads of State Roll’ casts Bugs Bunny and Italian anarchist Alfredo Bonanno as joyful and deranged propagandists of the deed. ‘Clod Clog’ alludes to the insight of another ultraleft theorist, Gilles Dauvé, that ‘nothing is more alien to a strike than its end.’ The cutup contractual jargon of ‘Wash Cycle (Dub),’ meanwhile, comes from a bogus eviction notice marked for the address of our home recording session. ‘Hideaway’ conveys impressions of the same place. As distant as the emancipatory horizon remains, the rent-strike that subsidized our prior release is resolving favorably (without end). Some light shines on Harmon, not least from the flaming moon. To Viv!

Dark on Harmon follows Desire Choir, released seven months ago on Post-Present Medium.

A portion of proceeds from this release benefit Street Spirit. The East Bay print publication, by and for the poor and unhoused segment of working-class tenants, is fundraising to transition to a new publisher, and accepting donations through Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP).

The shifting lineup of Non Plus Temps — a garbled curse on time — includes members of Naked Roommate, the World, Famous Mammals, and Preening. Oakland, California. 2023.
