The Great Parrot-Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy: Green Double Vinyl LP
ATO0710Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: ATO Records
Release Date: 1st May
The audaciousness of this psychedelic prog project from Les Claypool and Sean Lennon, it's exactly why the best thing to let nepobabies do is mess around and try and come up with the sort madcap funk prog rock jams that you wish you could cook up in your smokey basement. I love how dorky this outfit is and I think Pappa would be highly approve.
This is why it's expensive > LP spec: Linen-wrapped/foil stamped tip-on gatefold jacket with a 24 page LP-sized comic book
The 3rd collaborative album between Les Claypool & Sean Lennon (the previous sold over 150,000 combined) is an elaborate concept record reflecting on morality, the warnings of A.I., and the slippery slope of optimization without empathy. Told across 14 songs - which ooze with classic psychedelic / progressive rock stylings - and the accompanying comic book by Rich Ragsdale, The Great Parrot-Ox and The Golden Egg of Empathy is a peak for both The Claypool-Lennon Delirium and rock music at large.
