The Bran Flakes: Stumble Out of Bed
The Bran Flakes are back!
Six years since their last full release, Otis Fodder and Mildred Pitt return with the thrillingly fun I Have Hands on Illegal Art. Formed in 1992 amidst tape and zine trading scenes, The Bran Flakes have already put out seven releases of zany mashups and poppy audio collages that are more likely to cop a riff from Evel Knievel than anything on the current radio dial.
Call them the cover boys of Cool and Strange Music or simply misfits with giant paper-mâché heads these boys have amassed a cult following for their childlike concoctions that evoke flashbacks of a sugar-induced high while watching Sesame Street.
The new album ‘I Have Hands’ is 100% samples. No other band dares to invite Lawrence Welk, Mr. Rogers, Van Halen, and Strawberry Shortcake to the same party. One track uses Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” at its center, juxtaposes the familiar guitar pluck from Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger,” and ends with the Osmonds singing about freedom. While the look and feel is distinct, The Bran Flakes are right at home on the label has championed Girl Talk, Steinski, and other samplephiliacs. [ioda]
