Dispatches from the Commission

After a long stint in the recording studio (during which they did, indeed, roll the marijuana up and smoke it like a cigarette), the reviled, renowned, and now revisited experimental post-skapunkafunkatronica group The Breadmakers has released their new album; “Haunted by Sourdough-Applesauce”. A partial continuation (non-canonical, they insist) of their previous work, “Leave It, Take It,” “Haunted” has already been hailed by critics; the Seattle Times calls it “almost certainly an album,” The Stranger raves that it “did not immediately set our stereo on fire” and the Seattle P-I says “we aren’t even printing anymore, dipshit.”

As an added bonus, the physical release includes a side-B, containing the, as the band describes it, “late-term aborted album” “Epidemic,” in its first-ever North American release (or release of any kind). The “Haunted / Epidemic” two-pack is expected in stores five minutes previous the moment this is read, and can be found in electrical transcription and elcaset formats, just in time for the holidays, wherever non-music is sold.
