Snakes Handling Immortal Tongue Speakers or Shits for short is another Philadelphia Music exchange experiment in music composition. This time they have chosen a slightly different method in which they go about deriving each track. While the music itself is presented as a cohesive project, in reality each track is written by different members of the band, with different people playing different instruments and recorded in different locations. In essence they have tried to remove some of the elements from their music that were deterring from the original free from style of improvisation they have used in the past. Instead of relying on totally removing any type of background influence they are rotating the performing members, instruments and locales with each track to try and negate any underlying control that might be exhibited. This particular style of improvisation actually seems to come off much better than perhaps it was intended. Instead of being stuck in a musical rut as with previous projects the music flourishes with a new found sense of originality that I found refreshing. I think the PSE projects have finally been able to comprehend the elements which were stop gaps in their musical development process. Hopefully this a sure sign of a positive musical progression that will become more evident in the future.

Shits are:
Bob - bass, vocals, guitars & keyboards
C. Moore - vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards & beer can
Capn' - percussion
Wally - guitar
Zoo Lou - percussion
Horton - pitch bender
