And Now For Something Completely Different


Remember alt rock? Remember prog rock?  Remember glam?

Well, forget all that, as the debut album of American actor Caleb Landry Jones re-writes rock history with an album full of wilting harmonies, Wurlitzer, wry saxophone, woodwind and garage-rock guitar vamps. A sprawling rock cabaret worthy of Mr. Bungle.  "A lifetime's worth of ideas and pent-up weirdness, constructing a wild suite of interconnected songs, replete with lurching orchestral sections and harsh fuzzy textures and sung in a variety of different voices and timbres like a character actor gone off the rails" (Tim Monger).
