They have released many albums under different guises: maybe over twenty? Moodists...White Buffaloes...Coral Snakes...The Dave Graney Show...The Royal Dave Graney Show. But now, for the first time ever, Dave Graney and Clare Moore have a disc each. And they're releasing them together - opposing discs on the same album - the double disc Hashish and Liquor.

Lets start with Dave Graney and My Schtick Weighs A Ton. The nature of schtick, (and who put it on you), is being in a world that is stoned, wanting to get lost, the ability to see yourself, deja vu, other dimensions and Mr Bad Luck. These are the lyrical themes for Dave's album, Hashish, subtitled; A Taste of Infinity. (le gout de linfini). And as you'll see, Hashish moves like a story whispered by a mad assassin.

Then there is Clare Moore; whose track Town Bike Song introduces the Liquor half of this record which - lyrically, at least is also made of evil nuns, female explorers, burlesque dancers, corporate criminals, the void, childhood family holidays, alcohol,cats, bees, bete noirs and meeting phantoms from the past. The album is subtitled; A Taste of the Abyss, (le gout de gouffre) in response to a quip by a French philosopher who explained the dearth of female adventurers and explorers by saying that women in general lacked a taste for the abyss. Out of this Clare Moore started to write her album of fiercely female tales of explorations of the deep. She knows no fear.
