passage w/ restiform bodies

Restiform Bodies are a comatose electric psych ghetto r&b trio who all grew up together in the ice and rock of central New Hampshire. After receiving some attention for the bedroom generated recording "oubliette," assembled and sold by hand for $5, Dave, Matt and George left for Oakland to contribute their sound to the anticon massive. It was here the three began to experiment, while also evolving individually as beat makers, knob twiddlers, rappers and singer. David, (passage) the final vocal tentacle of the anticon collective, is the primary Restiform member responsible for the group1s rap-sing volley. He as appeared on two anticon releases and his solo LP "the forcefield kids" will be available in 2004 on anticon. The chemically enthused tel.jim.jesus (George), compulsively subjugates his gadgetry to render the token restiform car crash sine squall, while the bomarr monk (matt) challengers and amplified with often masterful traditional hip hop drum programming, underlined by his electro-death –stop alter ego and live analog drum brain accompaniment.

Restiform Bodies have toured the country with sole of anticon and shared the stage with themselves, Sage Francis, Atmosphere, Animal Collective, Kid606, Stars As Eyes, Cex, and Gold Chains. They have recently also done a remix for Smyglssnya on Vertical Form. bomarrmonk and tel.jim.jesus have both individually provided production for sole of anticon.
