about

On June 4th, 2003, Gabriel left the comfort of his city home to embark on a horrible journey of his own design. Along with his compatriots, Adam Scotto, and Malcolm Felder, Gabriel would brace the deep forest of Connecticut on a quest for truth, purity, and spiritual wholeness. The plan: compose and record an album of music and musings over a three-day camping trip, using only what instruments and battery-operated devices they could fit into the trunk of Malcolm’s 1989 Chevy Caprice Classic.

What happened may shock, disturb, or confuse you, but it can’t be ignored. (Though we try.) It is a story unlike any other. A story of the unrelenting torment of Mother Nature, claustrophobic delirium, artistic delusions, non-conformist eating habits, and the occasional triumph of the human spirit.

Beta Male is first and foremost a bunch of idiots in the woods. It is Adam Scotto, Gabriel Boyer, and Malcolm Felder. It is three days in the woods, complaining and occasionally recording. For those three days we were beta males, and the result is the album Battery Power.
