the 4 tracks of dinner bell were culled from a collection of 15 or so nearly finished recordings that were originally intended to make up quidnunk’s third album. the album never made it past sequencing though; it was postponed indefinitely, as was quidnunk who elected to put away his guitar for as long as it took to forget how to play it, hoping to erase the tendencies that had become ingrained from an entire year spent playing nothing but silver jews songs.

a couple of those shelved songs appeared in new forms that year on the mystery squid album flight of can beer, but the rest have remained tucked away on a forgotten hard drive until now. post a 2-plus year hiatus, quidunk has begun writing new material for what will be his third full length album. but, not wanting to abandon those unreleased recordings completely, he chose a few of his favorites to release as a digital-only ep through acoustaclaw records. minus some dusting off, you’ll find the songs more or less how quidnunk left them back in 2007.
