Last Paid in Puke release!
Review 1 HERE
"While Paid In Puke artiste C. Lavender sure knows her way around formless, sampled guitar freakout, the noise generated on her side of the tape is more joyful than scabby.
PIP’s two songs, “anything can become art” and “Case in Point,” use snippets of childish random quotes that slither in and out of a guitar-based din that occasionally display fragments of riffs and chords. Lavender makes this by-now routine structure seem fresh and oddly defiant. The freedom created is noted by both artist and listener."

"P.I.P. starts off her side with a short sound collage. Sampling what I am guessing by the quality and beeps is an old record that came with a book, like those Disney or DC Comic read-along jams you had has a kid, she loops the quote "anything can become art" (the title of the track) with miscellaneous fragments of sentences. Case In Point, the other track, and what I'm assuming is her response to the previous statement, opens with a low rumble and a handful of tones going up in scale that lead into a feedback ruckus that sounds like C. Lavender (that is her name by the way) is going at a guitar like she is ripping weeds out of the ground. Or maybe she is using a weed whacker on the strings, either way the clamor is raw and grating. Every so often the babel allows strummed notes to peek out, but that is rare and just adds to the absolute mess. To over analyze Paid In Puke's side would be stupid. This is noise with no docket or road map."
