[FONT=verdana,helvetica,arial]OF WHALES AND WOE CD PREORDER BEGINS TODAY![/FONT]
The pre-order for the upcoming Les Claypool album, Of Whales and Woe, is available now! Click here to pre-order.
When you pre-order the new album Of Whales and Woe, you'll receive a FREE digital download of "Cosmic Highway", performed live by Les Claypool and his fancy band on 10-16-05 at the Roxy in Boston. PLUS, you'll automatically be entered into a contest to win one of five autographed copies of Les' debut novel, "South of the Pumphouse".
Of Whales and Woe marks the first album release under the name Les Claypool. Though previous "solo" efforts were issued under a variety of monikers, these new recordings are the most self-contained to date. While Claypool's band members add some degree of instrumental variety (Skerik - Sax, Mike Dillon - Marimba & Percussion, Gabby La La -Sitar), Les handles guitar, percussion, and drums as well as his usual bass and vocals. Containing a variety of musical styles, this CD also includes Les' theme for Seth Green's hit animated show "Robot Chicken" that airs on Cartoon Network.
[FONT=verdana,helvetica,arial]SOUTH OF THE PUMPHOUSE:
The Debut Novel Out In July[/FONT]
A dark, clever tale of two brothers, a fishing trip, misconceptions, drugs and murder, South of the Pumphouse skillfully combines classic motifs of epic struggle and intelligent layers of imagery, reminiscent of The Old Man and the Sea, and the raw, tweaked perspective and hallucinogenic tutorial of a Hunter Thompson novel.
But like Les Claypool's music, the material is still hugely innovative, highly independent, and excruciatingly thought-provoking. South of the Pumphouse is sure to be a cult phenomenon, doing for books what Donnie Darko and the Coen brothers did for film: bringing disquiet back to the forefront of popular writing.
Look for South of the Pumphouse to be released in July from Akashic books.
