Ten Glorious Animals

VINYL FORMAT. Ten Glorious Animals is Alice Donut's triumphant return to Alternative Tentacles. Formed in 1986, the band spent a decade touring relentlessly throughout North America, Europe and Japan, building a perversely loyal following...but this newly invigorated band has come home to roost in the belfry at Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles. The band's eclectic mixture of hard rock and post-punk has not diluted in its time away. Mining hte veins of other damaged psychedelic pop music, mid-tempo rockers such as "Mrs. Carradine" sound like a drunken Peter Murphy and "Prog Jenny" recalls "Hurdy Gurdy Man" filtered through the odd-metered, melodic Donut lens. Alice Donut's lyrics take on what they view as the perversity, odd details, and petty humiliations of life. Their lyrical subject matter focuses on topics including depravity, domestic violence, sexuality, and eggs. They will keep making records until they die.
