Our Take

Resident? More like President of weirdness! The latest album from experimental legends The Residents, aptly titled "I Am A Resident!", is a wild ride through the minds of these avant-garde pioneers. From the quirky lyrics to the off-kilter melodies, this album is a testament to the group's refusal to conform to any sort of musical norm.

Opening track "Weird and Wonderful" sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its trippy instrumentation and cryptic vocals. It's like taking a trip through a psychedelic funhouse, complete with distorted mirrors and neon-lit hallways. The Residents are no strangers to pushing boundaries, and they do so with gusto on tracks like "Alien Love Call" and "Freak Show."

But it's not all weird for the sake of weirdness – there's a method to the madness here. With intricate production and a keen sense of humour, The Residents have crafted an album that is equal parts challenging and entertaining. It's like a rollercoaster for your ears, with unexpected twists and turns at every corner.

So strap in, dear listener, and prepare to be taken on a journey unlike any other. "I Am A Resident!" is a testament to the power of musical experimentation, and a reminder that sometimes it's okay to be a little bit weird. In fact, it's what makes life interesting. So embrace the oddity, and let The Residents be your guides through the wonderful, wacky world of experimental music.
