​​Castoffs
music and lyrics by Bridget Viviani
Despite popular belief, songs are not necessarily autobiographical — or even biographical, for that matter. As a screenwriter, Bridget is no stranger to creating stories with characters of ages, ethnicities, occupations, experiences, and so on that are not her own — and her songs are often no different.

That said, she does also write from her own life at times. And "Castoffs" is such a song. Course, it's possible 
there wasn't in actuality a bona fide demon possession... 
(Then again, who can say for sure.) But make no bones about it: the other one was most assuredly NOT working.

Instrumentation: voice, tenor sax, baritone sax, 
electric bass guitar, baritone uke, drum set, fingers


Miscellaneous Art Rock Trivia for "Castoffs":
The intentionally audacious muting of the bass guitar’s resonance on occasion reflects the protagonist’s emotional response to the two antagonists.
sound recording personnel:
Bridget Viviani – vocals, guitars, drums, percussion, recording, mixing
Matthew Thornicroft – saxophones
Spencer Hawk – mixing, mastering

Off...
Because the one isn’t working,
And the other one is demon-possessed.
Cast off!
