about

Perhaps Contraption is a genre-bridging musical performance collective.

Formed in 2004 ... more from avant-rock & pyschedelic detritus, we proudly present our latest incarnation;
an astonishing 8 piece art pop, marching band.

We are currently recording our new album with this device.

Our previous 2 recordings concern meticulously mathematic Rock in Opposition & intricate anti-folk. less

Track Name: Ossicles (Business Part III) (excerpt)
Listening bones
Little tools
Ossicles
Move inside our,
Ears

Hands are boiling,
Stave is broken,
mouths are kissing...

We are walking,
Business sulking,
Ears are hearing...

We'll boil your hands, soothing,
you find you found again...
They are selling
Fuss & tripe
But it has no RELEVANCE
(meaning more than)

Little bones, moving
you hear you heard again...
They are selling
Gloss & tripe
But it has no ELEGANCE
(unlike listening)

Ossicles attached to ligaments,
Eardrum pushes the Hammer,
which collides with the Anvil,
which shoves the Stirrup into the nerve,

(Listen)

(Listening bones
Little tools
Ossicles
Move inside our ears)
Track Name: Breathe your breath (excerpt)
Breathe your breath (breathe it)
Take your time (take it)
Hold it in (hold it)
Let it go (let it)
Track Name: You Bring out the Savage in me (excerpt)
My blood boils with tropic heat,
and the rhythm of my heart is the tom tom beat
(You bring out the savage in me)

Primitive love cries reach my ears
with the passion of a hundred million years
(You bring out the savage in me)

Woaah, call it madness or sin,
how was I to know,
what was creeping within me?

Just like Tarzan I'll be your ape man,
you're getting so ferocious that you can't escape man,
you'll find out how wild I can be,
when, you bring the savage in me.
