about

A journey of discovery through mermaids of genres and tempiz. A space rock approach to hi tech electronica with a DIY element. There are moments here so accessible and inviting, we find ourselves transported to peaks and valleys not out of place on say a Beck record. Though recorded in bedrooms, the production value is high, showcasing the chops of two genuine dudes who push themselves at every turn.

The lyrics thwart pop categorization, while being emotive and precise, going from full on vocoder rap stanzas in “The Snake...” to the RnB love and romantic expositions of “I love 80 BPM” One gets the sense that these guys could be big television music superheroes if they wanted to, but that they enjoy the less facile approach to art.

“One Six” is an energetic lyrical workout over pixelated laser funk. “Chew Bacco” then immediately brings us to the aftermath of a relationship gone awry. We start to get drawn into the lyrics and find a world not dissimilar to something Why? from Anticon might cook up. Then, breakdown, a ridiculously well crafted drum solo that pushes things a bit further and we start to get a feel for the polyrhythmic possibilities of TFPP.

We also get a few guest appearances, from Hydroplane, and fellow Miami natives Amy and Devin Smith (Miracle Cat.) The remix is so uniquely fashioned, one questions whether or not what they are hearing is a remix or a reinterpretation, or a cover. Things get dreamy and creamy with the husband and wife duo reinterpreting the original with almost Victorian embellishments. One even questions whether or not Bob and Devin aren’t somehow related by blood, or something even deeper, and more threatening.

**the Sexual activity that is visible in this album is totally eliminated by the stench of accuracy.

Insert summary paragraph here.
