The Largest Bird In The History Of The Planet...Ever!

San Francisco natives Sutekh (aka Seth Horvitz) and Kit Clayton (aka Joshua Kit Clayton) are Pigeon Funk, and the glitch kingpins have delivered an angular and crazed version of 23rd-century funk from an ultra-robotic future. Get ready for the Largest Bird in the History of the Planet... Ever!. for those who are already familiar with the work of the two men involved, this second Pigeon Funk album should come as no surprise: The duo specialize in top-drawer, maximalist playfulness, angular funk with blocks of squirms, whistles, horns, Latino squabbles, and faux-lounge robotics tripping over each other in a sonic playground that reveals new dimensions with every listen. The Largest Bird in the History of the Planet... Ever! Is a braindancer's delight, well within the label's tradition of surrealist mindbending for the dancefloor. This 12-track voyage through the wild imaginations of the West-Coast vanguard is a bible for serious beat manipulators hell-bent on putting a smile on the listener's face. This is no ordinary techno album; the two producers at the helm here are godfathers of the San Francisco techno scene and, as a result, have an impeccable track record of frothing personality. Though many of you may remember Pigeon Funk being a trio on their 2004 Proptronix/Onitor co-release Proptronix Presents: Pigeon Funk!, the funksters now return as a lean duo; however, they enlist a host of collaborators on various tracks, including vocalists, instrumentalists, and even a klezmer ensemble.
