The duo of James Evans and Michael Frazier combine for a cacophonic sweep that is almost unimaginable for simply two players, and to watch them trade guitar, drums, bass, synth and electronic duties throughout their cathartic live sets is almost overwhelming. Last year Transmography released their debut, Polydactyly through the artist collective 8088, which unleashed equal parts ambient meditations and furiously pounding syncopations of metal scrapes and junk-punk percussive anthems. The duo is currently recording new material for release later in 2008."Here's some of footage of us performing at the Ghost Room in Austin right before our tour with La Snacks:
