about

"THE KARMA SUTURE, just like 'The Bible', is an enjoyable (and useful) deception. At face value, it's another frantically fun, hodgepodge of stand-alone, stylistic experiments. However, if you listen carefully to the lyrics, the album's plot line plays out quite cinematically. From the stark realization of insignificance presented in 'The Greatest Song Ever Written by Swivs' to the wisdom and regret reflected upon in 'All That's Behind Me Now', the sardonic narrative (and signature, slapdash production quality) asks and answers the age-old question: What if B-movie pioneer Ed Wood Jr. wrote and directed Prince's Purple Rain? Have a listen and find out... IF YOU DARE!!!"

- James Ruppleton (Palpable Tuft)

about

SWIVS Los Angeles, California

"I’m not despondent and I haven’t lost heart. Life is everywhere, life is in us ourselves, not outside. There will be people by my side, and to be a human being among people and to remain one forever, no matter in what circumstances, not to grow despondent and not to lose heart — that’s what life is all about, that’s its task." -Fyodor Dostoyevsky ... more
