about

About this album:

Hello! This is Peter from Vortex Remover, and this is our second album, "Mrt."

Rob and I argue about whether this is an album. He says it's too short to be an album. He says it's an EP.

This album is a concept album. The concept is that all, or almost all, of the songs are about tea, or mention tea, or something tea-related.

I was trying to quit sugar, and I needed something to replace it. I decided to try tea. I tried to make it an obsession. I figured an obsession would be the only way to beat an addiction. It didn't work.

Rob plays various percussion, including a stumpf fiddle, which he made out of a shovel handle and a circular saw and some other stuff. He also plays "stick-it," which he made out of a pool cue and tambourines.

I played my hafgit (half-size guitar with half the strings missing) through a tiny amp, the kind you can clip to your belt.

Rob made me do all the vocals while locked in a closet.

Okay, I wasn't actually locked in, but I knew if I came out he would give me a dirty look.

There is a song called "La Granda Mantelo." If you can tell me what language it's in, I'll give you a high kvin.

This our mantra. Repeat after me. "BOOKS and TEA and ROCK and ROLL!"
