 Of Whales and Woe Bassist, songwriter, and virtuoso Les Claypool kicked off one of the most sustained periods of activity in his career on May 30th with the release of 'Of Whales And Woe' on Prawn Song. Marked by Claypool's wry worldview and the ferocious musical chops of the legendary bassist and his musical co-conspirators Skerik, Mike Dillon, and Gabby La La, the album is an aggressive tour de force that recalls his best work as one of the pioneers of alternative music.
The album's 12 all-new songs match the irreverent aesthetic that has characterized Claypool's storied career with a gritty, uncompromising drive. The lead track "Back Off Turkey" is menacing and sparse, followed by the dirge march of "Lust Stings" and the propulsive "Rumble Of The Diesel." Other highlights include "Phantom Patriot," with references from Bohemian Grove to "the elite right wing maze," and the album's closer, and instrumental titled simply "Off-white Guilt."

Definately worth a listen. Any of you who haven't taken a bit of a trip into Claypool's music, slap yourself, and reform.

It's the only way to judge music.
