about

This album was inspired by The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity - a 1975 memoir by Mark Vonnegut, son of American writer Kurt Vonnegut, about Mark's experiences in the late 1960s and his major psychotic breakdown and recovery.

I also experienced psychotic breakdowns, so I found it purifying to work on this LP, immediately after finishing reading the book.

Some experiences are common, and although we might feel alone, there are people out there experiencing same things as us. It is just needed to reach out, even if you don't feel like it, and try communicate your path to hope for recovery.

I wish to thank everyone for being so supportive with my poetry, art, and music.

This album is sequenced alphabetically, and along very recent recordings contains various older tracks and demos.

You can think of this LP as the soundtrack to Mark Vonnegut's book.

I also should thank William S. Burroughs for his inspiration in which he turned his darkness into art. I hope to do the same.

Closer to art than entertainment, I hope this album can entertain in a positive way the listener, who thanks to his imagination becomes co-author of the LP, which leaves a lot to said imagination. I also recommend Mark Vonnegut's book to everyone who faces mental health issues in life, and would like to shine a good light on a psychedelic life.

What a great live performance, this album sounds amazing! Green Hog Band once again delivers some excellent stoner doom music to the masses!
