Bio / Background
Ashley Holt has been writing about himself in the third person for over ten years, and recording homemade music even longer. Gargle of the Spartanites, his sixth full-length collection of songs, continues to examine the relationship between song construction and the inner working of household appliances. In fact, the designs of these pop song prototypes were modeled after schematics for certain popular brands of mid-century vacuum cleaners, resulting in musical performances rooted in the foundation of classic American manufacturing. In keeping with this spirit of innovation, the album also features several instruments of Holt's own invention and many household items not normally used for the purpose of music.
Throughout his tenure as a recording artist, Ashley's goal has been to promote the program of personal fulfillment known as Thrdgll (pronounced "Threadgill") and he considers Gargle of the Spartanites a testament to its beneficial properties.
