Wall of Ears is what happens when As Cities Burn guitarists Cody Bonnette and Christopher Lott embrace experimental recording and writing processes.

On POA:
There is an inhuman quality to this record that pulls inspiration from the history of experimental composition and surrealist art, but never abandons the merry and moving psych-pop of the sixties and seventies. Standard instruments are warped, octavated, morphed until they become unidentifiable: formless and new. Every song has an its own arc that builds and bends, but none of the songs remotely resemble each other. This is the music of aliens; pop from the fringes, the concept of sound deconstructed and built up again, fresh. Wall of Ears replicates the way deep dreaming feels or how sneezing can be pretty in slow motion.

Perfect Organ Assembly is the afterbirth of a strange composition process: songs being recorded as they were being written. Under their twisty fingers the studio became an instrument as involved with the composition of the songs as their creators. Working this way allowed Chris and Cody to patiently sculpt their sonic vision, manipulating the bizarre orchestrations of inverted samples, field recordings, guitar fuck ups, and unconventional instruments (such as the singing saw, toy pianos, vibraphone, and many more), in a surreal soup of texturized hallucinations.
