"Sonnet 71" was the opening song. The music was originally composed with Sean McGuinness (from The Navies) on drums and Johanna Claasen (from The Most Secret Method) on bass for the February show. By the time we remounted the show in September, Sean and Johanna had moved, so Ryan played drums and Matt Borlik (from Q and Not U) played bass. That's the version we recorded, in the basement of Ryan’s house.
lyrics
No longer mourn for me when I am dead
Than you should hear the surly sullen bell
Give warning to the world that I am fled
From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell.
Nay, if you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it for I love you so
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot
If thinking on me then should make you woe.
Oh if, I say, you look upon this verse
When I perhaps compounded am with clay,
Do not so much as my poor name rehearse
But let your love even with my life decay,
Lest the wise world should look into your moan
And mock you with me after I am gone.

Chad Clark makes music in four dimensions. Please Advise offers a somewhat compact, yet still very outsized, version of his vision by virtue of its EP length. But walking around its dimensions, full of unknown colors and textures, I keep finding corners that lead to other rooms. Lars Gotrich
Delicate and wounded, mostly instrumentals based on carefully layered electronic loops, sweeping strings and glitched beats — an immersive sound experience, delivered with care. Lars Gotrich
