About No Consolation: Somewhere a fortuitous sperm and egg hatched Phoebe Reeves in the pond and pine wilds of upstate New York. Somewhere a rather confused sperm and egg hatched Greg Loving in the tame cornfields of central Illinois. After many adventures in between, a heavy dose of freak magnetism driven by a love of depressing but melodic songs pulled poet Phoebe and songwriter Greg together at Clermont College in Batavia, OH, where she teaches English and he teaches Philosophy. Phoebe’s husband Don, completing a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Cincinnati, joined to give the duo some sort of instrumental respectability. No Consolation’s harmony-driven material ranges from Greg’s originals, which drift from the deadly serious to the seriously satirical, through the musical poppy fields of folk, country and indie weirdness. Fodder for an Epitaph, our first full length studio album, is now available on all major streaming services. About Helen of Bikini: Helen of Bikini examines the way humans inhabit the world, both in beauty and in conflict. How do the twinned human forces of domestication and domination, rage and mediation, witness and culpability, destruction and nurturing, find their balances, not in an either/or, but in a melding? In an unapologetically feminist approach to these topics, Reeves explores the idea that “we are the only ones who name,” and goes about teaching us the “alphabet of our unmaking.” This collection will appeal to readers with an ear for musical language, and those interested in atomic history, environmental issues, and feminism.
