Les Claypool
“OF WHALES AND WOE”
RATING: 3 SOUND LEVELS
No one pops in a Les Claypool-related album expecting anything but madness. Of course, it’s a palatable and highly amusing sort of madness. Claypool’s well-worn lyrical themes (rednecks, seafaring and fishing, weird sexual disorders) come to the fore on his latest solo release. This is a nimble, jazz-inflected collection of spiky aural sketches from a unique voice, even if that voice is 20 feet underwater and stoned out of his mind.
