Time & Materials
Cavanaugh
2015
Cavanaugh’s Time & Materials is a collaboration between Open Mike Eagle and Serengeti and is a concept album exploring the monotony and struggles of working-class life
In a new urban development on the far west side of Detroit, Florida, it’s mandated by a 5 to 4 city council vote that a new housing structure be erected that has both luxury condominium units available for private ownership and section 7 housing in the same building.
Via separate entrances the Cavanaugh building services two very different populations. And though the lifestyles of the residents vary, each unit relies on the same system of pipes and wiring and are serviced by the same crew.
Mike and Dave have a combined 14 years of experience in Cavanaugh maintenance. They usually work drunk, mumbling greetings to the residents, soaking up all the disdain that the higher and lower income inhabitants have for each other. They talk shit to each other all day. They complain about their home lives, and spinn passive-aggressive tales where they pretend to be angrier, stronger, more expressive men.
