Four songs and eight short stories about getting every-goddamn-thing wrong. Proudly wearing your self-infliction for anyone to see. Defaulting to the lazy way out of even the easiest situation. Staring your last chance straight in the eyes and blowing it nevertheless. In a contemporary reimagining of the 7" split, WHISKEY DICK is the musical companion to the book CREAM RIVER by Douglas W. Milliken. Like the two halves of a black and white cookie, the book and record are a unified piece of work, a single vision interpreted through two distinct media by two confused personae. You must have the one in order to possess the other.
"I believe Doug Milliken has a firm grasp of life’s little traumas. He takes his chunk of loving meat and hangs it from a butcher’s hook on display for the world." ---Ben Trickey
