David Grubbs, Wendy Eisenberg, & Kramer Release Debut Single As Squanderers

by · Stereogum

Guitarists Wendy Eisenberg and David Grubbs along with producer and Shimmy-Disc founder Kramer have formed new, sound-experimental supergroup: Squanderers are set to release their debut album, If A Body Meet A Body, in November. To celebrate, the trio are sharing a searching lead single, “Theme For Squanderers.”

A press release relays a little more information about the trio’s chosen name. “In Grubbs’s book-length poem, ‘The Voice In The Headphones,’ ‘Squanderer’ is the nickname that most deeply troubles of the book’s unnamed protagonist: ‘Hang your head, Squanderer. You’ll never darken the doorway of Studio A.'”

Side One:
01 “Theme For Squanderers”
02 “Theme For Contrails”
