Good

Since Good's unassuming north Chicago "porch" formation in 2004, Goodmembers Paul and Mike have released three albums. This is despite their separation since 2004 by the Atlantic ocean (following Mike's move to Amsterdam). This less than miraculous but nonetheless sacred achievement was achieved by means of sending tracks back and forth over the internet. The first two albums, 2004's skeletal and precious A tender folk music impossible for a woman to like, and 2006's sprawling ode to governmentality, hegemony, and regimes of truth in Firaxis' Civilization III, Tear it Down II, were both released on now-defunct Isochromatic Records.

Following the breakup of the Isochromatic label, Deconomics Records was formed, releasing Good's 2008 self-titled EP.

Good pulls pieces from a wide variety of musical traditions: Goodmembers have explicitly noted influences from such disparate acts as Coil, Current 93, Euguene Chadbourne, Henry Cow, Adam Green, Leonard Cohen, Hella, and The Make-Up.
