The sharp edged melodies recall Harry Smith’s disparate collections and dark tunnel lyrical visions of The Cure, without reaching directly at either. Members of Beyond Things can be traced to the core of Bloomington’s underground and explosive third wave of the early 90s, a tradition blown strong from the freak-outs Screaming Gypsy Bandits and siren Caroline Peyton two decades earlier.

Our Call Outs contains nine songs, opening with the stark, death rattle “Our Shut Eye” -- a track which features a deafening Marty Sprowles beat rebirthed from PIL’s Flowers of Romance and Darin Some-errs-glean’s instantly recognizable whooping vocal croon. Hannah Jones’ emotionally expressive violin and backing vocals add completely hypnotic layers to "When What Was Wrong Was Wrong." The verse/chorus structure is expanded and twisted as it’s pulled through a small hole of orchestral acoustic guitars and keyboards —completely peerless. Dynamics of each song continually roll with each nuance of Darin’s lip speak and group vocal break downs, signaled from Nick Quagliara’s boatman’s bass and keyboards.

The group make up of Beyond Things combines the hot flash and legendary subterranean groups that were responsible for Southern Indiana’s genuinely damaged art/music culture. Darin and Marty joined Chris Clavin in the Ted Dancing Machine — the debut release for Plan-It-X Records. A few years later, in The Panoply Academy Glee Club, they would become one of Secretly Canadian’s first hometown groups and release five albums before disbanding in 2006. These four, along with John Dawson, formed and joined over a dozen groups, many of which were documented on record and in memories during country wide and global tours: Pretty Pony, Intro To Airlift, Yarn Marvins, Yellow Based Red, Giuseppe, Operation: Cliff Clavin, Turn Pale, The Sissies, Early Day Miners, John Wilkes Booze, Sway Kiss, and others.
