Beautiful Night

from The Dumbo Demos by Casey Neill & The Norway Rats

Incident Record Club exclusive

about

These songs were performed in a basement warehouse rehearsal space in Dumbo, Brooklyn, NY in 2003. They were recorded to the ancient digital technology of a Sony Mini-Disc player. There is hiss and varying degree of quality but it captures a period of time. We were performing regularly at The Living Room, Fez Under Time (where the photo is from), and Galapagos Art Space. All storied venues that don't exist anymore. I was writing the songs that would become the Brooklyn Bridge record and these were some drafts. Only Beautiful Night was ever officially recorded. Warning: Joy Is a Sinner's Reward is not suitable for young ears. Faithful Heart in a Weary Land has lyrics that would turn up later in the song 'Signal Reach' from 2013. I wish this initial recording of that song had been a path we explored more. Hope you enjoy these rough hewn and loosely constructed compositions.
