'The Claypool Lennon Delirium' was born a few years ago from the association of 'Sean Lennon' (son of 'John Lennon' and 'Yoko Ono') and 'Leslie Edward Claypool' while they were playing together with their respective bands 'The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger' for Sean and 'Primus' for 'The'. From this collaboration, a first album was released in 2016, 'Monolith of Phobos' (see here), which already showed strong influences from early psychedelic and progressive formations 70's with references to the early period of 'Pink-Floyd' with 'Syd Barrett' and 2017 confirmed this tendency to pay tribute to this golden period of psychedelic with the release of an EP 'Lime & Limpid Green' (see here) with covers of 'Pink Floyd', 'The Who' and 'King Krimson'; 2019 sees the release of a new studio album, 'South of Reality' which continues in this style but adding references to the period of the sixties with obviously nods to the 'Beatles': from the first title' Little Fishes', they mix a light pop with psychedelic intonations with a very successful fusion between these two styles, then 'Blood and Rockets' continue in this way with a song alternating wonderfully a hopping tempo and a slower one that brings us back to the 'Abbey Road' period of the 'Beatles' with references to 'Sun King'. The following is the image of these first 2 titles often with the crazy side of this era of liberation of morals with psychedelic arrangements that take us a few decades back. To this, as the 'Beatles' did, they add influences from other cultures with 'Cricket Chronicles Revisited' where we go on a journey between India and the East. In summary, this collaboration between the two Americans embarks us in the time machine to destination of the 60s / 70s and 'South of Reality' is recommended not only to all lovers of psychedelic but also to an audience much wider because all these compositions are not only very accessible but have also a wonderfully delirious side which, for my part, I adhere completely...
