For ten years, Morrison was the lead singer and lyricist of the CD art-rock quartet the Dismemberment Plan, who brought samplers, hip-hop and fun to underground rock. This solo effort is a political, dark and booty shaking release recorded by Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie, Decemberists) and Don Zientara. It matches videogame noises and synth beds with intricate funk and hip hop inspired cut-and-past structures all rubbing against a warm acoustic sound-scape that swings from Steely Dan smoothness to full orchestra string arrangements to piano driven post-punk rave-ups.
