Anatomy of Livers

Under the name This Is My Condition, Craig Comstock creates rock music using simply guitar, drums and his own vocals. This at first may sound like a stale and rather unimpressive formula, but consider this, as a one man band Comstock plays all three instruments at the same time. And with the help of a few guitar pedals and a custom made microphone he creates hectic songs that seem to be equal parts hardcore rock and free jazz.

Antatomy of Livers is the latest CD release by This Is My Condition and the second featuring the experimental saxaphone playing of frequent collaborator Dan Kozak. Comstock and Kozak tear through their new material described by the band as “33 minutes of pure now-ness and non-existence” which was recorded at Daybreak Studio in Lawrence, KS as part of a session for a split 7″ on Golgonooza Records. Not for everyone for sure but fans of Black Eyes, Lighting Bolt and Glenn Branca will revel in the madness.
