synopsis:

Guppy Tyke’s “public enema #2” is a collection of instrumental group jams and solo pieces produced by Sean Luciw (a.k.a. Lex Plexus) and featuring his all-over-the-map instrumental work. Sean blazes lead guitar in abundance throughout all tracks on the CD, having played for various bands in B.C. such as Sadistic Humor, Motherland, Cozy Gelpod, Structure, Crushing Complex and Cuyah.

Almost half of the tunes were put together by Sean in his mad-scientist lonesome, while the rest are spontaneously-combusted, improvised collaborations. Also appearing on the album are Anthony Metivier, Evan Wilds of Earthbound, J.R. Adam, Ryan MacDuff, Jacob Bastien, Gary Faustman, Guy Poulin, Roxanne Hall and Dave McLean.

The sonic palette of this album includes guitars, sitars, didjeridoos, harmonicas, flutes, trumpets, E-bows, fretless bass, bicycle spokes, bells, brass bowls, budbusters, saxophones, electronic loopage, chewing gum, hiccups, a few good laughs and even some dog-barks for good measure.
