2011, Bananastan
VINYL FORMAT. "Wall Street" b/w "Money is King." Legendary artist, composer and producer Van Dyke Parks launches a unique series of 7-inch vinyl singles, the first new studio music in over 15 years since he released his acclaimed album Orange Crate Art. Each vinyl single (on his own label Bananastan) will be illustrated by some of the most important and remarkable modern artists of our time. Parks has commissioned some of the top contemporary artists in America to illustrate each single with what he describes as "a work of art that relates to the music within." "Wall Street" is illustrated by Art Spiegelman. Parks said of the singles: "They are from highly different genres, each of them. They don't cohere. They belong somewhere. But the emphasis on the visual art is a big, big deal. These are the pre-eminent American artists of our time."
