Risen from the ashes of the awesome anti-rock performance band Idiot Flesh, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is a band that can truly be called eclectic, strange, and unclassifiable. Their music can be melodic, artistic, creepy, and ass-kicking heavy, all in the same song. As far as genre, good luck, single songs contain multiple genres. Think the love child of opera raped by death metal and raised as the adopted son of folk theater and prog rock. In short, fucking awesome. Every song on their three studio albums is a unique piece of musical creativity, well-conceived and expertly executed.
Personal faves:
From the album Grand Opening and Closing
Sleep is Wrong
Ambugaton
1997
Sleepytime
From the album Of Natural History
A Hymn to the Morning Star
Donkey-headed Adversary of Humanity
The Freedom Club
The Creature
From the album In Glorious Times
The Companions
Helpless Corpses Enactment
Angle of Repose
The Salt Crown
The best way to understand SGM is to check them out. Their official website: http://www.sleepytimegorillamuseum.com/
Here are a couple of vids. Warning, they are strange, creepy, and fucking awesome, especially 'Hymn'. Don't say I didn't warn you!
