Please understand, „Sang Phat Editor“ is a reference, a blueprint to a story told a bit differently night after night. Never before has a band popped, melted.. exploded so miserably. U.S. Maple are the pioneers of the new school, controlling time and space without falling hack to today's trendier form -improvising. Make no mistake, U.S. Maple are about songs and not the sum of parts. This is rocknroll re-aped, engaging on all levels, placing emphasis where the emphasis belongs – entertainment. Produced by Jim O'Rourke, Sang Phat Editor is U.S. Maple's second album. The LP deluxe includes music not found on the cd edition, a die-cut day-glow camouflage sleeve, postcard, full color sticker and poster. What's the world coming to? This.

FUN FACT(S): In the United Kingdom, prior to Sang Phat's release, Skin Graft had been able to arrange Peel Sessions for U.S Maple, and Melt-Banana's Yasuko and Agata joined in on two of the tracks. The oft-talked about U.S. Maple "Banana-Peel sessions" have never been released! On "Mountain Top", the band pulls out of the track during the closing moments, leaving the Flying Luttenbachers to finish the song! During these sessions, an additional track was recorded for a collaboration with Derek Bailey that never came to fruition.
