In the beginning, This Is My Condition was freaky to be sure. Originator Craig Comstock simultaneously banged on a drum set and a detuned guitar and screamed into a mic that looked like it was invented by Thomas Edison. But things got even freakier when free-jazz saxophonist Dan Kozak entered the picture and the duo hit the studio to record an improvised album called "This Mission." Now they've done it again, and the resulting "Anatomy of Livers" LP will be released tonight with support from NYC noisemakers Neg-Fi.From This Is My Condition: This Is My Condition and Dan Kozak release a new full-length CD: Anatomy of Livers. 33 minutes of pure now-ness and non-existence.
