about

Tears Of Joy presents Pipes Escape Me, the debut album by Snake. Snake has cast his ethereal net into the astral rain and summoned a blacked out vision of esoteric, screwed up songcraft; an album of wasted nu-neo-folk hymns; lyrical, holy and free. Opening with a percussion invocation that makes us well aware we are entering sideways into the psychedelic mind of a man pushing the pinnacle of potency, we are led through shifted voices, drifting melodies, washed out room tones, alchemical poetry — all filtered through the hazy crystalline worldview of Nic Barbeln, one of the visionaries behind the unheralded entheogenic trash-punks Clipd Beaks and current member of Weed Alien and Indian Jewelry. The visual artist and musician emerged as Snake with a trilogy of homespun CDRs, yet here we have his first solo album: compiled by Tears Of Joy from over six hours of music that was written and recorded throughout a decade. The material covered a lot of sonic terrain and we were close to releasing an LP of the brilliant abstract pieces but choose to focus on the songs, as our Serpent is a wordsmith like no other, and these full blown mystic inquisitions into the soul - into the sacrosanctity of a life walking the streets of Oakland - need to be heard.
