ESSAY BY JIM KNIPFEL AND SLEEVENOTES BY THE RESIDENTS’ MYSTERIOUS ARCHIVIST.
An expansive, detailed exploration of one of The Residents’ greatest works, and a favourite
of the band themselves.
From its humble beginnings in 2001 as a Civil War themed album, through multiple incarnations (‘Feast Of Manias’, ‘Tiger Love’ and more), ‘Animal Lover’ took shape in a way no other Residents album had before.
Evolving and morphing across multiple distinct phases, with contributions from collaborators as well as The Residents themselves, the album saw the group explore new sonic territory, complex arrangements and a contemporary sound whilst retaining their own unmistakable aesthetic.
This ‘Evolution Edition’ provides over forty unreleased tracks showcasing the 2001-2004 development of the album, including a detour into abandoned songs such as ‘Vanishing Genitalia’ and ‘Starvation Demon’, as well as contemporary outtakes and the 'Imaginary Jack' suite.
Featuring notes from Brian Poole and Carla Fabrizio, and the usual insightful essay from Jim Knipfel (based on the recollections of The Cryptic Corporation’s Homer Flynn), this set explores a level of access and detail rarely available to fans of any particular album.
A must-hear for Residents fans and collectors, including those not already familiar with ‘Animal Lover’, and an essential part of the ongoing pREServed series.
