A band of charlatans, magicians, mediums and scofflaws claiming to be “S-S-S-Spectres” surfaced in Brooklyn in early ’05. Since then they have been frequenting the meaner night-time establishments throughout the New York Isles and beyond, conjuring up and putting questions to the spirits of “The Contortions,” “Bush Tetras ,” “The Fall” and “The Birthday Party.” Some rubes taken in by their performance have also claimed to have felt the chilling touch of “Six Finger Satellite,” “Erase Errata” and “Old Time Relijun”! Their spellcraft is simple enough: jerky percussion and skittish bass riding waves of gang vocals and chants amidst a squall of shrieks from a home-built 12-string guitar and a bone-chilling organ. Through photo-comparisons and tireless cross-checking, we are fairly certain their members have previously been implicated in incidents of unholy music and mischief in Providence, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and even Austin, TX! Today, these blackguards have united into one single-minded, seething mass, and they have been plying their trade along the coasts in company with the likes of Country Teasers, Magik Markers, Deerhunter, Silver Daggers, Meneguar, Cause Co-motion and assorted other fiends and groups. Their shockingly brazen manifesto, Sea Potentia Divina , was released by a shadowy organization known only as New York Night Train Recordings in early ’07. Everything beyond these barest facts is either mere conjecture or the ramblings of the mad.
