Claypool Lennon Delirium – The Great Parrot-Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy (Opaque Green with 24 Page Comic Book 2-LP Vinyl)
Les Claypool and Sean Lennon have built one of rock's more genuinely strange partnerships since launching the Delirium project in 2016, weaving together Claypool's elastic, funk-drenched bass vocabulary with Lennon's lysergic guitar and production sensibility across records that sit comfortably nowhere. The Great Parrot-Ox arrives on opaque green vinyl with a 24-page comic book, leaning into the duo's commitment to psychedelia as a complete aesthetic universe, not just a sonic one.
The 3rd collaborative album between Les Claypool & Sean Ono Lennon (the previous sold over 150,000 combined) is an elaborate concept record reflecting on morality, the warnings of A.I., and the slippery slope of optimization without empathy. Told across 14 songs - which ooze with classic psychedelic / progressive rock stylings - and the accompanying comic book by Rich Ragsdale, The Great Parrot-Ox and The Golden Egg of Empathy is a peak for both The Claypool-Lennon Delirium and rock music at large.
