about

So this album has no release date, because it was technically never released... & to be honest, in the midst of the drug addled state of consciousness we were in during the writing/recording of it, we're not entirely sure when it happened. But I'll let my homie Inkwelle tell it.
"Once upon a time, in a bar, Philo (of the Fist Family) and Inkwelle (who had a real human's name at that point) sat drunkenly compacting to record a rap album. The resulting 14 tracks, recorded over two years, between midnight and dawn, comprise The Lordside Sessions: in retrospect, a paen to mid-twenties blue-collar pizza crafts- and sales-manship, bike transportation, chemical dependancy, romantic foibles, petty crime, southern culture on the rent-shtick, and the general darkness and relative chaos of the time and place (Asheville, 2004-6, which ironically looks brighter and more orderly with each passing year). It is also a comprehensive mid-career showcase of the Fist Family crew, who taught Inkwelle how to rap (yeah I said it). The album was produced by Philo, along with Inkwelle, and a nascent Calamus Root Magician, who hid inside a tallboy of PBR, waiting to manifest." - Inkwelle
