CLAYPOOL LENNON DELIRIUM - Monolith Of Phobos 2LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition grey colour vinyl.
Double album housed in gatefold sleeve.
Les Claypool, the wacky and utterly distinct bassist of Primus has been quite prolific in his several decades as the progenitor of funk metal and experimental weirdness having engaged in a ridiculous number of side projects including Oysterhead, Sausage, Beanpole and Blind Illusion not to mention the several others that has his own name in the title.
Well, here’s one more for the list however this is a strange one even for Mr Claypool as it involves none other than Sean Lennon, youngest son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
This project was a result of Primus touring with The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger, a project in which Lennon contributed vocals, guitar, drums and well lots more and the two hit it off so much so that Claypool invited Lennon to try to craft an old school psychedelic album in the vein of the 70s.
Lots of adult beverages and who knows what else later, the two cranked out a bunch of tunes and THE CLAYPOOL LENNON DELIRIUM was born.
