John Zorn’s Follow Up to The Dreamers: O’o

gronk

Holy Crap! How did I miss this? Just released on Tzadik is the follow up to 2008′s The Dreamers simply titled O’o and it features our good buddy Trevor Dunn on bass!

“Named for an extinct Hawaiian bird whose delightful song will sadly never be sung again, O’o is the exotic follow up to The Dreamers, one of Zorn’s most popular and appealing musical projects. Featuring the same dynamic band of masters from Zorn’s inner circle, O’o presents twelve more lyrical and adventurous instrumentals combining world music, surf, exotica, soundtracks, easy listening, minimalism and more into a fabulous and exciting new music. Beautifully packaged in original artwork by Chippy, this is charming and adventurous music passionately performed by a downtown super group.”

Featuring:

Cyro Baptista: Percussion
Joey Baron: Drums
Trevor Dunn: Bass
Marc Ribot: Guitar
Jamie Saft: Piano, Organ
Kenny Wollesen: Vibraphone

Tracklist:

1. Miller’s Crake
2. Akialoa
3. Po’o'uli
4. Little Bittern
5. Mysterious Starling
6. Laughing Owl
7. Archaeopteryx
8. Solitaire
9. Piopio

First up, the release date has been nailed down to the 11th of August. Which brings me to the pre order!

Pre orders are available between July 28th – August 10th and come with a few bonus goodies including a personally autographed postcard and sticker along with a physical signed copy of the album and instantaneous access to a downloadable version of the album. There are also other versions of the bundled pre order including T-shirt options. Pre orders are available here.

To celebrate the release, Chuck Mosley & VUA will be having an album launch party on Friday August 14th at the Beachland Ballroom. Doors open at 8pm and tickets are $10.

Also check out the brief article about Chuck over at spinner.com where he discusses working with Korn frontman Jonathan Davis.

If you are interested in sampling the album prior to purchase, there are now four tracks up on his myspace including the duet with Jonathan Davis. (I really like Tractor btw)

Next is the tracklist:

1.)   Intro
2.)  The Enabler
3.)  Tractor

5.)  Nameless
6.)  Pile Driver
7.)  Come Around
