"I started this band in 1997 with the intention of being the line that connected Ornette Coleman to Sonic Youth, Magma to Neu!, King Crimson to Conlon Nancarrow, and Van Halen to Harry Pussy, and I think we've only added more lines. We've had about 20 different members and no less than 11 different versions of the band.

"This is our seventh album and our intent with this record is, as always, to make a distillation of the things we find fascinating about music, as well as an ongoing dialogue between the members and places we are, physically, mentally, and emotionally. We aren't trying to make perfect mathematical music, in fact all we're trying to make is rock music that's interesting to us... I think we make and destroy cities in the time it takes other bands to cross the street to get coffee."

The "Sun Square Dialect" album was recorded at Infrasonic Sound (The Jesus Lizard, Death Grips) and The Record Plant (in the room where Appetite for Destruction was recorded), and was mixed and mastered by Pete Lyman (Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Xasthur). The track listing is:

1. Pitch Mountain : Maps
2. Death Before Disharmonic
3. Smells Kline
4. Never Don't Give Up
5. Hey Motherfucker You Ever Fuck With a Salvadoran?!
6. Dogshit on the Shoulders of Giants
7. Or Gnaw : Cult Men
8. Remnants of the Habitable Epoch
9. Old Dusk Seas : Odyssey
