In light of his blog post/suicide note, we realize the irony of what we’re doing here, paying tribute to his music, but, come back soon Trev, we already miss you already.
"over the past few months, i've been feeling increasingly like my popularity and interest in my music has just been a product of blogs looking for the next noise pop project -- i don't know any other way to put it than i am completely sick of the hype around this genre. just like every other underground music trend, it will be dead when music journalists migrate to the next "big thing."
i hate feeling associated with that. i hate feeling like a hype artist. the subsubgenre that i feel pigeonholed into already has annoying conventions and stereotypes (punk has once again been co-opted into a certain sound and image, not a body of ideas and actions), all of which i hate the thought of being affiliated with.
i'm not quitting music, but i am moving on to other projects. my first 3 releases were born completely out of hate, and i want to move away from that. this was fun, but at the same time, i feel like it's the right time to move forward.
RELEASES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN RELEASED YET:
they'll be posthumous. this includes my splits with old blood and fungi girls. ocean ghosts will be re-written, re-ordered, renamed, and released under a new project.
i hope none of you feel like you're being cheated out or anything, and if you do, i'm sorry, but it's the right time for me to move on.
