Alice Donut
Ten Glorious Animals
Ten Glorious Animals is Alice Donuts triumphant return to Alternative Tentacles. Formed in 1986, the band spent a decade touring relentlessly throughout North America, Europe, and Japan, building a perversely loyal following. One scribe at Creem Magazine described the Alice Donut live experience as "the most decadent punk rock-fueled all-out orgies I ever witnessed." Between 1987 and 1996, they released seven full-length albums and fifteen EPs and singles. The bands eclectic mixture of hard rock and post-punk has not diluted in its time away. Mining the veins of other damaged psychedelic pop music, mid-tempo rockers such as "Mrs. Carradine" sound like a drunken Peter Murphy and "Prog Jenny" recalls "Hurdy Gurdy Man" filtered through the odd-metered, melodic Donut lens. Alice Donuts lyrics take on what they view as the perversities, odd details, and petty humiliations of life. Their lyrical subject matter focuses on topics including depravity, domestic violence, sexuality, and eggs. They will keep making records until they die. TRACK LISTING 1. Mrs. Carradine 2.
