Les Claypool’s New Album “Of Fungi and Foe” Out March 17

Tuesday, January 13, 2009

Les Claypool will release yet another work of art, Of Fungi and Foe, on March 17 on Prawn Song Records.

Of Fungi and Foe is the expansion of material Claypool has recorded over the past few years for the video game “Mushroom Men” and the motion picture “Pig Hunt“. Being inspired by these 2 projects Claypool decided to keep creating and turn it into an album. The song “Mushroom Men on this release is a more in depth version of the theme song from the video game. Additionally a jam session with Gogol Bordello’s charismatic front-man Eugene Hutz turned into the track “Bite Out Of Life”.

Since his last album release, 2006’s Of Whales and Woe, Claypool has been busy with his films, scoring other’s films and video games while having fun out on tour. This album is a collection of songs inspired by the projects he has been working on over the past few year.
