Alt Funk, Slap
I could write 10 pages about Claypool and wouldn't even come close to doing the man justice. Most know him as the brains behind the alternative rock trio Primus, which could very well be the most original band to come out of America in the last 25 years, and is how he became known for his unique style of bass playing which blends tapping, strumming and slapping. Claypool's solo stuff is just as satisfying as Primus, and magnifies how good he really is. This album came about when Claypool was asked to contribute a soundtrack for a video game called Mushroom Men, which was released on the Nintendo Wii in 2008. Apparently that got his creative juices flowing, and in less than a year Claypool released Of Fungi & Foe, the sequel to his 2006 album Of Whales & Woe. If you're already a fan expect more classic Claypool, and if not you're in for a treat.
