SCRIPTURAL SUPPLIES - AVAILABLE MID AUGUST 2010

In early 2010, Vancouver-based Ladyhawk lead singer Duffy Driediger caught a genuine case of the bubble gum flu. And what was the only remedy for this sonorous malady? The peanut butter final solution! Er, well, that or recording a spontaneous and fast-action solo album comprised of 9 punk-rock commercial jingles. Like a rain ghost emerging over the vast open plains, Duffy and the Doubters was born. While sympathetic to the dancing bear's previous output with his Ladyhawk brethren (currently working on their next full-length platter), Scriptural Supplies [TCR005] is a different recyclable bag altogether, a short and sharp series of 2-minute rock and roll nightmare anthems where YOU, the listener, take on a lucid dream-like state of "transcommunication" (Google that shit!). Or maybe it's like the feeling of being woken up by an early morning dumpster pick-up? Or maybe, gulp, like a sexual seance fuelled by religious ecstasy/satanic guilt (or vice versa)? Any which-way you look at it (CREATE YOUR OWN MEANING FELLOW CULTURAL NAVIGATORS!!!), Scriptural Supplies is the paperback anthology-styled brainchild of a 14-year-old man of 32 whose musical madness is as shocking to the naked ear as seeing a kid sniffing glue in Grade 2. Shake. Shimmy. Ache. Pop.

Without a doubt, Triple Crown Audio Recordings Of Canada are proud to release Duffy and the Doubters' Scriptural Supplies debut on pure black vinyl collie (LP with MP3 download code) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLXMkdAXDZw). Yes folks, it's that addictive! An initial pressing of 300 handcrafted copies with album art and 24-page photo booklet from the mighty camera of native New Yorker and cosmic comrade Jason Nocito (note: Jason's pictures of Cat Power, Lil Wayne, and Mary-Kate Olsen have adorned pages of glossy US publications like The Fader, Nylon, and Vice to name just a few), Scriptural Supplies is already a music lover's best new bud (*file after Triple Crown's very own Destroyer and (before) SPORTS in your record collection). But please be warned, your turntable will need a new needle in the not too distant future. So carve deeply into this slice of gourmet gore with a vivid backdrop of youth culture vampires, totalitarian hippy regimes, true north Canadian horror, and don't forget to order a side of Chinese food to go with Scriptural Supplies' psychedelic power pop chicken nuggets. Duffy and the Doubters would want it that way! Eat well friends. Savour every bite!   - Kevin "Sipreano" Howes (LITA, Jamaica-Toronto) 2010
