about

The first in a bizarre series of cassettes- AMERICAN VOLUME SWELLS revealed a raw and unchecked side of the band through live recordings, improvisations and tape collage. Recorded on mono, stereo and 4 track cassette recorders, DIMINISHED MEN released these recordings on the same over-saturated and compressed format it was originally recorded. All of the collage pieces and the entire sequencing of the album were also executed on tape decks- using the "pause tapes" method pioneered in early hip-hop and mix tape culture.
