Eleven Theatres
Released August 1, 2006
Eleven Theatres is a 72 minute song cycle that represents the first official release of The Atomic Bomb Audition. A dense array of sonorous excursions incorporating epic fuzz guitars, stomping folk melodies, altering theremin solos and electro-acoustic ambience conceptually united by the story of a young boy theatre-hopping at his local multiplex. These song-suites reflect the evolving emotional impressions of a raw psyche bombarded by incomprehensible myths.
