Frithjof Baker is an accordion repair man and the desk hand at his local museum. The museum is a dank place with displays of old animal bones, dusty trinkets and the like. Able Dvorzhetskii is the museum's janitor and maintenance man (though it seems he maintains the cobwebs instead of the displays). One day Baker invited Able to his home to repair a bookshelf overly burdened by comic books. There, Able discovered Baker's collection of rare instruments long past their prime. 2 months and 41 songs later PLEONASM, their debut title, emerges as if from thin air. Once realized this album hit the shelf, actually that same shelf with the comic books, and was lost, deep in a sea of newsprint superheroes. Then through a series of synchronicities (too convoluted to recount), the tapes found me. It was almost like they wanted to be found. So moved by this album I decided to erect a free-music label dedicated to finding ear-homes for musical orphans like those found on this site. Thus became pleonasmmusic.org. I don't know what more to say about this masterpiece, just that it is perfect art. This the honest truth and it comes from my heart.
