CHARNEL GROUND: an above-ground site for the putrefaction of bodies, generally human, where formerly living tissue is left to decompose uncovered.
Represents ‘the death of ego’ and the end of:
— attachment to this body and life
— craving for a body and life in the future
— fear of death
— aversion to the decay of ‘impermanence’
CHARNEL GROUND is a meeting of Chris Brokaw (Come/Codeine/The New Year etc). on electric guitar, James McNew (Yo La Tengo, Dump) on bass, and Kid Millions (Oneida/Man Forever/etc) on drums, dedicated to exploring the outer and inner regions of instrumental rock music. ‘Charnel Ground’ was recorded in Brooklyn NY in 2016, and informed and dedicated to pivotal transitions.
