Les Claypool's album "Of Fungi and Foe" is his latest album of all original music. This album is a collection of songs inspired by the projects he has been working on over the past few years, and also contains a jam session with Eugene Hütz the charismatic front-man of the band Gogol Bordello that turned into the track "Bite Out Of Life". Other musicians who appear on the cd include Lapland Miclovik, Mike Dillon, Sam Bass, Paulo Baldi, Cage Claypool, and Bryonn Bain.

"Sometime back I was commissioned to write soundtrack music for two projects that promised to have quite a bit of very intense and unique imagery. One was for an interactive game about a meteor that hits Earth and brings intelligence to the mushrooms within the crash proximity and the other was about a three thousand pound wild boar that terrorizes the marijuana fields of Northern California. Obviously the makers of the subsequent MUSHROOM MEN game and PIG HUNT film were very aware of my tastes and perspectives because the music oozed from me in such a natural way that I believe it came as much from my pores as it did my mind. This music became the foundation of the songs that fill this collection. With a few added tidbits and a bit of gypsy sauce, I inflict upon you... OF FUNGI AND FOE" – Les Claypool

Cage Claypool is an awesome name.

 

[Josh Ryan]

Excellent.

 

[MakiSupaStar]

I'm very quickly building up a list of music I need to get. This is definitely on that list.

Wonder how much of this album Les will be playing in late March here in KC!!

 

[millsbass5]

The man is in great company w/Victor Wooten(among others)as one of the most creative bassist to ever grace this earth.

WARNING:I WILL DEBATE THIS UNTIL I DRAW MY LAST BREATH ON THIS EARTH.

No,I'm not trying to start a big brew-ha-ha.Just an opinion.

In the words of the great Sgt.Joe Friday,"Just the facts."

 

[138BASS]

SWEET!

I hope a bit when they swing through Denver.

That cover is either really cool or nightmare material. I can't decide yet.

I am huge les claypool fan ,but i have not really liked any of his cds since purple onion . some of the songs are ok but too much filler for me . we need a new primus record ,antipop was such a under rated cd

Agreed.

I did like the Bucket Of Bernies Brains & the Oyster thing, but Claypool's playing was just supportive for the most part.

Primus to me is Claypool's perfection. Larry complements his playing so well, no one else makes Claypool shine to me. Lar is a genius. Without Larry Les is half a man.

Forgot about tim alexander, he was a big part of the primus sound

 

[Barkless Dog]

People always tell me that, but could you show an examples of Tim vs Brain to illustrate?

 

[fitzy73]

the brown album really put me off brain, i just think tim attack was better listen to the live dvd Hallucino Genetics Live compared to rhinoplasty

 

[Barkless Dog]

The Brown Album is the only Primus CD I never purchased. Figures.

Although Tom Waits said it was his favorite Primus Cd.

whats it like. is it like 'purple onion' or 'of whales'.

 

[Barkless Dog]

Purple onion meets the Residents.

Has to be the most creative non "Cliche funk" Claypool ablum he has ever recorded in my opinion.

Might even be one of his best ever, different for sure.

Claypool joined the Residents!
