This was the last track that I made with my amp before it overheated and then got fixed and then made me too paranoid to use much after that. This is the kind of music that I would make if I was a DJ. And my DJ name would of course be DJ Invisible Hippo. Recorded on February 17, 2016.

This track is the first of tracks that were going to be on what would've been the first release under the Hakaibaka name which was "Eternal Fuck You", a parody of Japanoise cassettes from the '80s, before the track names were given to GMHAIGYH. Also originally from this session was the "American Japanoise Manifesto" from GMHAIGYH. The name "Follow for Follow" was inspired by the album "@" which was a collaboration between famous free improvisers John Zorn and Thurston Moore. The idea to move parts of the song around so that the stuff that I liked was first was inspired by The Residents' 1971 demo tape Baby Sex. Recorded on March 11, 2016.

This was the new version of the first free improv track that I made: "New Jersey (Take 17)" in December 2010 where I played drums, guitar, and kazoo, but this time the tracks were recorded separately. This was also gonna be on "Eternal Fuck You". Recorded on October 26, 2015.

Inspired by John Cage. The second movement isn't the actual second movement, but that hasn't been recorded yet. I just combined these three tracks together because the second and third tracks didn't have names and were from the day after I recorded the first anyways. The first movement is called "Predetermined Indeterminacy". Recorded on January 2 and 3, 2016.

Cigarette Break (Demo)
01:03
|

Inspired by Sonic Youth. It features a drumstick, a screwdriver, and alternate tuning: C-E-G-D-E-B, aka "Cigarette" tuning. That's why the track is called that. Also because it was gonna be in the middle of the album that it was originally gonna be on. Recorded on April 4, 2016.

I like this take better because I screw up less, even though you can't hear the vocals as clearly as the second take. Look up the lyrics if you want them. Recorded on June 24, 2015.

I don't like this take as much as the first because I screw up more. Look up the lyrics if you want them. Recorded on June 24, 2015.

The background image is "Wheat Ear" by Salvador Dalí, 1932. The order of the releases are neither chronological nor alphabetical, but rather relative best to relative worst.
Derrick McMillon recommends:
My friend Katelyn is the bassist and my other friend/her boyfriend Hunter drew the cover.

Hunter did the cover for this one too, and he plays drums. My other friend Chris sings and plays guitar.

No Friends Club / Lachesist EP
by No Friends Club / Lachesist
Not a band. Part-record label, part-self-described secret cult. This is the reason why I made a Bandcamp account (which I made the same day my friend's brother made his I think).
