On Internal Systems, the third album from Olympia's Guidon Bear, Mary Water and Pat Maley use their indie-pop and twee-punk pasts as a springboard into a sonic world all their own. Synths and vintage electronics, guitars, a homebuilt drum kit, songs about trying to stay well in an unwell world.
In a collaboration that's spanned over 25 years, beginning in the late '90s with their band Little Red Car Wreck, Water and Maley are quietly unstoppable forces of the Olympia underground and Internal Systems is proof of their lasting, ever-evolving collaborative power.
