Syrup came from a simple idea: record a lot of ambient, textural piano and slow it down. This roughly twenty five minute song was slowed down by 75%, and is now available for your phase-out-and-stare-at-a-wall-for-an-hour pleasure.
Cover art is a derivative of A failure in fly-paper by Friedrich Graetz.
Imagine you are having the most incredible night of dreams. In one, you are whistling a tune on top of a thundercloud. In another, you are speeding far beyond the speed of light in your brand new intergalactic hovercraft. Imagine yourself waking up with nothing but a vague feeling that you had an extraordinary night of sleep, filled with monsters, incredible kung-fu, and life-enlarging tales to tell your grandchildren (if they would only listen).
The long awaited follow up the The Sidekick’s first record has finally arrived. This time around, expect 36 action packed, kung-fu laden, sleepy time minutes of music worthy of either making you gesticulate wildly in the comfort of your own home or brave enough to shout obscenities at potential muggers.
Also available are two free bonus tracks, leftovers from Mr. Sidekick himself, who oddly is not available to comment on his own record release (all I got from him was a mumble or two, and then a dropped call).

When you savor your favorite record from start to finish, time disappears. It’s no secret that us musicphiles fill our living rooms bursting with the music we love just so we can have that, over and over again. Although sometimes it’s easiest to grab only one track of an artist, it’s the sound of a sequence of songs that makes time disappear. We know it, and that’s why we’re snobs about music.
The most immediate benefit of listening to The Double Headed Seagulls’s record Piano is that each song builds a memory that takes a long time to disperse; the memory lasts a good minute into the next song. The transition between the songs is even more important than music itself. In music parlance, it’s the notes off the page that matter. This record is really meant to savored from one song to the next.
