About the artist
The instrumentation of the group is primarily lo-fi analog electronics, but the make-up of the Dead Air Fresheners is always changing. Formed around 1996, they are shrouded in mystery, doing strange multi-media presentations hidden in a variety of masks. Moog and tape samples mix sometimes, but not always, with drums, ambient vocals, distorted feedback, electric guitar, computers and digital toys, and even digeridoo.
They have played around the northwest with noise bands such as Noggin and techno hippies such as Terran Spiral, toured Pittsburgh behind poet Chuck Swaim, and have put in sets at Olympia Experimental Music Festival for eight years straight. An internet radio broadcast on station KMLP, also behind the mighty Mr. Swaim, was purported to be heard by some 12,000 streaming listeners including one very excited Russian who proclaimed in an e-mail, "Dead Air Fresheners Rock!"
In addition to one album, I Try To Show My Love, on independent Plastic Duck Records in 1999, they have produced three self-released albums from 2001-2003 providing soundtracks to Chuck Swaims poetry: Verses of Echo, Bastard Customer, and Pleasure Is Where All Labor Ends. They appeared on two compilation CDRs: Infamous Polywogs Vol. 1 released by Inlet Recordings in 2002 and Infamous Polywogs Vol. 2 released by Kill Pop Tarts in 2004. Finally, 2006 saw the release on Kill Pop Tarts of a new Dead Air Fresheners only CDR-ep called An Ulcer is a String of Pearls, and also the inclusion of the track God Damn Bullfighter on a compilation by Icky Recordings entitled Reek of Influence.
The current direction of the group is once again an instrumental one, allowing for a handful of very special shows per year.
