Craig Wedren is best known for his work with his Shudder To Think – the “fanciful chimera” of Dischord Records’ legendary ‘90s roster (Fugazi, Jawbox). Today, the acclaimed musician and film / tv composer  announces his latest project - Flesh Car - with longtime collaborators Jherek Bischoff and Jacob Richards. Together, the trio create what Richards describes as “stream-of-consciousness improvised experimental rock.” While their setup is ever evolving, you can usually find Wedren on vocals and processing, Richards on Drums, and Bischoff on baritone guitar and synths.  Today, the group announces their self-titled debut album due May 17th via Wedren’s Tough Lover imprint. They also share the first single, “Being Inside Made Me Go Insane” - LISTEN | WATCH. WATCH & SHARE “BEING INSIDE MADE ME GO INSANE” Flesh Car was recorded in early 2024 at Wedren’s Pink Ape studio where they improvised for hours over the course of a weekend with no definitive plan. “My own music is mostly notated and a lot less immediate to experience,” notes Bischoff. “So I love to be completely free with Flesh Car – free to try things and fail loudly and proudly and hopefully sometimes bring some heat.”  Joined by Bo Boddie who helped with set up, they recorded the sessions and thought that they would just release the video so people could see what they were doing, given that it’s so much about the moment. But, notes Wedren, “When the sessions were over and we listened back, we all agreed that this set best captured what we were up to that weekend. Upon repeated listens and as we started mixing, it felt like the music stood nicely on its own.” The album was mixed by Bischoff and Randall Dunn. Wedren, Bischoff and Richards find great joy in improvising together and are excited to share Flesh Car with listeners. Stay tuned for more music and upcoming live shows.  ‘FLESH CAR’ TRACK LISTING 01 - Whatever She Makes You 02 - Break The Child 03 - Being Inside Made Me Go Insane 04 - It Tickles 05 - Wishing Blue 06 - Get Beyond 07 - Silent Wave 08 - Up Comes A Bird 09 - So Discreet 10 - The List Goes On
