The Claypool Lennon Delirium – The Great Parrot-Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy

Description

The Claypool-Lennon Delirium unveil The Great Parrot-Ox and The Golden Egg of Empathy, their third collaborative album and most expansive statement to date. Across 14 songs, Les Claypool and Sean Lennon build an elaborate concept record that grapples with morality, the rise of artificial intelligence and the dangers of optimisation devoid of empathy. Psychedelic and progressive rock textures thread through the album, with winding arrangements, surreal storytelling and richly detailed musicianship at its core. The narrative extends beyond the music through an accompanying comic book by Rich Ragsdale, deepening the albums strange and cautionary world. Ambitious in scope yet playful in spirit, The Great Parrot-Ox and The Golden Egg of Empathy finds the duo pushing their shared vision into bold, theatrical territory.
