The band’s 2017 album No Culture, produced “The Drugs” a #1 single on the Alt Rock charts in Canada for three consecutive weeks. The Juno and MMVA nominated Vancouver-based band, comprised of Ryan Guldemond, Molly Guldemond, Jasmin Parkin, Ali Siadat and Mike Young, has had a whirlwind decade garnering six top 10 singles on the alt-rock Canadian charts and 41 million streams and counting on digital platforms. Check out the music video for the single directed by Connor McGuire and shot in Vancouver HERE. “Get Up” the lead single off the album has been met with much fanfare, impressively rocketing into the top 5 and nabbing the title of #1 most added song at Canada Alternative Rock radio in its first week of release. The songs on Dance and Cry relate back to an organic, stripped-down sound that reflects the bands earlier material and share themes of survival, self-reflection, sorrow and happiness. The Vancouver-based band’s new album features 12-tracks, all of which were written by lead singer Ryan Guldemond and produced by Guldemond and Ben Kaplan. “Can’t wait to bring the songs of Dance and Cry to a venue near you.” We love it all, writing it, making it, adorning it with art, but it’s letting the songs unfurl into the open air with all of you that truly makes this a dream job,” said Ryan Guldemond.

Lennon added, “It’s been an honor and a challenge playing with someone of Les’ caliber, but luckily the Gods of Pinot Noir shone favorably down and granted us a bundle of devilish tunes about monkeys, outer space and sexual deviancy.” “Monolith of Phobos” is just how the title implies-an old-school approach to a psychedelic space rock record. But I think folks will be most surprised by what a monster guitar player he is, especially when you prod him a bit.” He was happy as a piggy rolling in shit every time he grabbed the sticks…his drumming is like a cross between Ringo and Nick Mason. I took the helm at my old vintage API console and let him bang away. Claypool explained, “Usually I play the drums and percussion on my records but Sean has such a different feel than I do, it just made more sense for him to man the kit on most of the tunes on this project.


Over the course of six weeks or so, the two wrote and recorded a total of ten songs with both of them sharing various vocal and instrumental responsibilities, going beyond their core instruments of bass and guitar. I think that is what really sold him on the idea of working with me.” Lennon responded, “I told Les that I was Neil Diamond’s nephew. Next thing I know, he’s staying in my guesthouse, drinking my vino and banging on my drums.” “I don’t like sitting around, so when Sean said he didn’t have plans for this next year, we started kicking around the notion of making an old-school, psychedelic/prog record. “I was trying to wrangle up an Oysterhead reunion since Primus was taking a rest for 2016 but the planets just wouldn’t align for that,” said Claypool. It makes for a glorious freak stew.” After some impromptu, backstage jams and an epic live sit-in on Primus’s psychedelic opus, “Southbound Pachyderm,” Claypool approached Lennon about doing a recording project. “He definitely reflects his genetics-not just the sensibilities of his dad but also the abstract perspective and unique approach of his mother. “Sean is a musical mutant after my own heart,” said Claypool. Their efforts thus far have spawned the upcoming, full-length release called “Monolith of Phobos.” After a successful summer tour, pairing Primus with Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, the two bandleaders, Les Claypool and Sean Lennon, have decided to combine their abstract talents into a project called The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Two worlds have collided, and what glorious and odd worlds they are.
