*The Slow Poisoner is a One-Man-Surrealistic-Rock-and-Roll-Band from San Francisco. He strums a curiously-shaped guitar and croons curiously-shaped lyrics, all the while kicking incessantly at a bass drum rigged with sleigh bells, generating a weird and rootsy din. While on stage, elaborately painted signs that bear the title of each tune are displayed, providing a visual compliment to the malignant melodies.
Lyrical concerns include sleeping sickness, weeping willows, woebegotten ne’er-do-wells, creeping fungi, strange passions, furtive meetings, unseen forces, whispering branches, domestic dischord, phantom visitations, the imbibing of mysterious green beverages, the plight of the singing railroad brakeman and strange America.
