HENRY CARAVAN is Louis Johnstone, who is better known as WANDA GROUP, DEM HUNGER, and a few other names/outlets/ALL CAPS EXTENSIONS. Throughout his career, his works have become less “musical” and more “liveable”. Without adding much more to that pithy jot of print, below is an explanation of KITCHEN GODS from the man himself. Even more of his words on KITCHEN GODS can be found here. I know, lots of words, but, if you ever have the chance to talk to him in person, you can talk to him about whatever you want. You don’t just have to ask him about his music. You could maybe ask him about plankton.
‘I DO NOT NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS RECORD
I WILL, THOUGH
WHERE I LIVE
WE HAVE A PIANO
WE MEANING MORE THAN ONE PERSON
IT IS NOT MY PIANO
HENRY BEING ME
OBVIOUSLY MY NAME IS NOT HENRY
IT IS
THIS PIANO WAS IN THE HOUSE WHEN I ARRIVED
I BEING ME
HENRY
ETC
THE PIANO WAS IN A ROOM BEHIND THE KITCHEN
INFRONT OF THE KITCHEN
IT DEPENDS HOW YOU LOOK AT THINGS
WE WILL GO WITH ‘BEHIND’
THIS PIANO WAS IN A ROOM BEHIND THE KITCHEN
WE
MEANING MORE THAN ONE PERSON
WE HAD THIS ROOM WITH A PIANO
A CAT BOX
A CAT BOX IS WHERE THE CATS SHOULD PISS AND SHIT
SHOULD BEING WHAT WE HUMANS WANT THEM TO DO
THESE CATS DO
THE ROOM HAD FOUR WALLS AROUND IT
THIS RECORD WAS MADE USING THIS ONE ROOM
ONE ROOM AND THE PIANO
THIS ROOM BEHIND THE KITCHEN
OR INFRONT
ETC
HAS NOW HAD A WALL REMOVED
THE PIANO WAS CAPTURED IN A FOUR WALL STATE
I GUESS MEANING A DIFFERENT ECHO OR VIBRATION
THE WALL HAS BEEN REMOVED
IT IS NOW AN OPEN ROOM
THE HALLWAY IS NOW PART OF THE ROOM
A THREE WALL ROOM
THE KITCHEN STILL INFRONT
OR BEHIND
ETC
I GUESS BASICALLY
THIS PIANO WILL NEVER SOUND THE SAME AGAIN
OR THE ROOM
ETC
THIS RECORD CAPTURES THIS
HENRY CARAVAN
MAYBE’
