i.e. crazy (aka Maggie Magee – formerly Claire Duncan of Dear Time’s Waste) roves through an unsettling and perverse array of human behaviours with a critical yet empathetic gaze, delving to scrape, sample and haunt the dregs of dirt we’d rather were left untouched.

Recorded between Magee’s home and the old family beach house in South Auckland, Non Compos Mentis sees Magee explore the refractions of small-town relationships, subjectively inhabiting the role of villain, victim and detective.

On Non Compos Mentis, Maggie’s joined by a raft of comrades; Catherine Cumming (GPoGP), Seth Frightening and Shab Orkestra all bring their signature to the recordings. The mix was then left to Sean Kelly of Seth Frightening – known for his pedantic and progressive mixing style – and mastering to James Goldsmith at Blue Barn Studios in Wellington.
