This work of chaotic rock art took many, many years to complete. Politics, malaise, and porn has never been so irreverent, until now. Some say this is the final Self Parody album. Others say it's just the beginning.

A varied mix of instrumentals ranging from the dark to the playful. Song titles matching the emotion of each song. Subtle, plaintive, yet ever so unnerving at times. Finally, an album without vocals. Finally, an album to believe in.

A crazy mix of perversion, politics, and self deconstruction make this the penultimate Self Parody release. Harkening back to the esoteric, sometimes un-music ways of Self Parody, this 19 song opus will certainly make the mind meld into the white matter that is truly dark.

Two years in the making, "Not the Zoo But..." is a period piece. The songs evoke themes of life, loss, and transition. But not all is serious - embedded are quirky pieces guaranteed to make you move your leg in a 45 degree angle of either pure delirious joy or mild discomfort.

The third album in the Karen/Ithica/Devil trio finds Self Parody in a sexful, somber, dark, and bitter state. Although some songs are fueled with latent fervor sexuality (like "Un Tit Led" and "He Used to Fold Five...") other songs are downright depressing - case in point, "I Feel Hollow". One of Self Parody's unsettling and darkest material.

Worked on simultaneously with the lighter "Our Favourite Karen". "Ithica" is Winston's softer, poetic, personal side. Songs about doubt, halitosis, and pornography strewn throughout this release. Self Parody's most acoustic release.

8.  Suicide is the Only Viable Option at This Point In My Life (play sample) 1:49

Not currently available for public sale.

Recorded at Winston's Living Room, North Brunswick, NJ

The sophomore release is one of Winston's most personal and depressing releases. It begins with the ugly, unlistenable instrumetal "She Hates Me" and moves into the real gem on this album, the eerie and sad "You Don't Know How Much It Hurts". The clausterphobic release relinquishes itself as the hidden track "Suicide Is The Only Viable Option at This Point In My Life" pokes fun at the seven previous songs. Besides the hidden track most of the material is not for the faint of heart.

Not currently available for public sale.

Recorded at Winston's Living Room, North Brunswick, NJ

The debut album is an esoteric mix of spaced out sonics and disturbing imagery. This album has it's share of controversy from the homosexual Civil War romp of "Sexy Nigger" to the blatantly phobic and pornographic title track. The over use of e-bow throughout most of the album sets the mood. While not well engineered this does open the world up to the parody that is self.
