- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -

   This is another Minus 5 album. Now the eighth LP from the loose creative
   collective/serious drinking association helmed by wayfarer and musical
   enabler Scott McCaughey. This one is called Killingsworth. A recording worthy
   of the murders committed during its genesis? Perhaps. Incoherent yarns mostly
   told after midnight by highway hobos in and around Portland, Oregon? Surely.
   Killingsworth features an incarnation of The Minus 5 including apparatus
   support poles McOi, Peter Buck (R.E.M.) and John Moen (Decemberists). Other
   gypsies in the carnival include The She Bee Gees, further Decemberists Colin
   Meloy, Jenny Conlee, Chris Funk, Nate Query and many more. Pedal steel belted
   radials drive throughout the gravelly fern-lined byways of the neighborhood
   of Killingsworth. Either ride along with the show or get out of the way of
   its careening wheel man, drunk with liquor and blood. Up to you, friend.
