Disney characters with 4 eyes, squirrels without a nose and purple owls with a yellow mohawk are psyched to anounce this new Daniel Padden LP. Daniel Padden is a multi-instrumentalist and a full time member of the UK based goof troupe Volcano the Bear. For this new LP he used: piano, harmonium, cello, amplifier, zither, tape recorder, concertina, banjo, thumb piano, viola, organ etc... to create a fictional soundtrack for a cartoon film that had to be made in the 50s but could have been made during yesterday's hurricane too. Or a free dude going folk while trying to play chamber music and pouring concrete tape collage sauce over the finished total.

Comprised in slightly more than 30 minutes (a vinyl, folks!), The Isaac Storm has got more sudden changes, brisk bursts of discharges, alien burpings and small complex melodies which could have been designed by either a demented scientist or an epileptic pharmacist. Good to know when to not take yourself too seriously, and even better when you don't become annoying. Though I won't intentionally write "funny", it's up to everyone to appreciate the wit and deranged sense of ambience of these seven tracks. Whoever liked my previous post should also definitely take a peek.
