about

" O, what fine treasure Bandcamp has reeked upon us today... Melodic madman Joel Marquard (Dear and the Headlights, Gospel Claws, et al.) exhibits his newest installment as Spiritual Warfare and the Greasy Shadows: Death Was An Olympic Speedskater! This epic tone poem unfolds like a secret spooky soundtrack to your favorite derange Hardy Boys book - weaving through scenes of cavernous confines and winding countryside, seamlessly blending hard-hitting gospel and folk drawl with raw electro bolly-surf-rock passages. Marquard's haunting voice is there all the while serving as humble narrator of this journey; crooning a tale of Death and his stint as a speed skater during the 1988 Olympic games, and the grappling emotion that comes with having to make intense career decisions. This cut weighs in at a hefty 11:11... dont forget to make your Death wish. " -Mitch Freedom

Death Was An Olympic Speedskater is the first single for the 2018 album "ad hoc".
