Claypool Lennon Delirium's 'Great Parrot-Ox'

0:00On April 30th, Les Claypool and Sean Ono Lennon just dropped their third album with the Claypool Lennon Delirium called The Great Parrot Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy. It's out now on ATO Records with 14 tracks, and Claypool calls it the longest he's ever spent on any project, even after decades with Primus and tons of other bands. The duo kicked things off back in 2015 after Lennon's tour with Primus. They followed up with Monolith of Fobos in 2016 and South of Reality in 2019. Their chemistry clicked fast, but they tug at each other in the studio. Lennon layers on extras like Glockenspiel and Vocals while Claypool keeps it. Tight. That push pull mirrors old school vibes like John Lennon nailing takes quick versus Paul McCartney grinding through dozens. They build this one with psychedelic pop, Prague, Jazz, Funk and Heavy effects, working between studios and even redoing vocals, top to bottom at one point. They've teased it with singles like WAP, What a Predicament and Meet Machine.

1:03Now Claypool's launching the Claypool Gold Tour starting May 20th in Reno, Nevada, 30 dates wrapping July 4th in Napa, California, featuring Primus, The Delirium and his fearless flying Frog Brigade with some band crossovers for fun. Looking ahead, their eyeing live shows for the full album, maybe a residency with stage production, plus a comic book that could spark animation down the line. This project's got that timeless spark, blending wild ideas with real musical fire. That's your entertainment and celebrity news today update, AI powered and always trending.
