Artist description
Locked in a commercial refrigerator of mourning for several hundred years, Iceberg Al was released, thawed, and battered to cook in 1997. Disappointed in both freedom and the imminent necessity of being eaten, he flopped away from the fire and sped to the sea, all the time apologizing to the napkin-sporting, drool-dripping would-be-feasters. There, in the deep expansive ocean, he grew and was nurtured along by loving sea monsters, who taught him to trade bumbling for slithering, and squeaking for roaring.
The Creamy Young Hustlers, led not in administration but by inspiration by Iceberg Al, are a constantly evolving, ever-rotating funky-noise ensemble spewing psychadelic whirlwinds of voodoo-infused chickenpop at the Conventional Music Monks, who quake at every atonal note and every terrifying, slithering rhythm. Deriving its confusing power mainly from the ever-forward integration of new members, new styles, and new expressive slants, this music will eat your dreams and haunt your children. Add Iceberg Al's gurgling, non-articulative vocal moans to the recipe and now you have bottled, prescription-only, don't-use-with-heavy-machinery, completely-marketable SUPERCOOL... |
