You'd never know it's been 12 years since brothers Curt and Cris Kirkwood made a Meat Puppets record together, as these songs sound exactly like what should have come right after 1995's No Joke. More sedate than the arresting insanity of their classic '80s output, this batch of songs is still appealingly gitched. From the hypnotic gibberish about "your aphid master" in the opening number to the six-minute freak out that ends it all 15 tracks later, the album is like some giant insect that injects you with a paralyzing narcotic, then eats your limbs while you laugh with joy.
Meat Puppets, "Sometimes Blue": Stripped Down By The River
We're thrilled about this one. The Meat Puppets need absolutely no introduction; here they are on a lovely day in lovely Austin, Texas, doing an intimate, acoustic version of their tune "Sometimes Blue" as part of our Stripped Down by the River series. Enjoy.
