Broken to Piano for President is a story of “a noise band caught up in a conspiracy involving fast food moguls and international space programs,” by Patrick Wensink. Well, Deathbomb Arc is releasing Broken to Piano for President as a cassette audiobook with True Neutral performing the accompanying score.

True Neutral is Brain Miller’s new musical project. You may know Miller from his work in drum ‘n’ shout hardcore band foot village, or perhaps from his ambient project Back to the Future the Ride, or maybe from the avantpunk of Gang Wizard. With True Neutral, he is composing scores to audiobooks. Contributing performances to the score are Brian Chippendale (of Lightning Bolt and Black Pus), Ezra Buchla (ex-Gowns), and Christina Gubala (Oedipa Maas and DJ Technical D’s).

The audio book contains an abridged version of Broken to Piano for President on Side A with the score. Side B is just the score without readings, plus the theme song for the novel. This right here is said theme song.

Listen.

Downloadable: Call on the Herd (mp3)

These are the lyrics to Call of the Herd:

Call on the word Reverb
Everything that I spit is to call on the herd
Reverb Reverb Reverb
Call on the word Reverb
We all have been hurt we all have been heard
Reverb Reverb Reverb
Call on the word Absurd
Release all your friends from their unforgivable sins
Reverb Reverb Reverb
Tell all your friends on the beautiful ends
Once they have heard they’ll be hungry again
Once they have heard they’ll be hungry again
Once they have heard they’ll be hungry again
