Fellow Mike Keneally freaks rejoice: there’s a surprise release on the horizon!
April 9, 2013, brings the release of Wing Beat Elastic, a disc of demos, “remixes” and outtakes from the sessions that produced last year’s fantastic album of material created with Andy Partridge, Wing Beat Fantastic. The release had originally began life as a download-only set, but grew into a full-fledged album once it became fully fleshed out.
[SOMETHING ELSE! INTERVIEW: In a fun, free-ranging talk, Mike Keneally explores the impact of XTC and Frank Zappa, and his introduction to progressive rock via ELP’s ‘Tarkus.’]
Most of the material is known to those who already own Fantastic, but Elastic does contain a handful of outright new material in the form of the short instrumental “Corn” and four “Wing Beat Fantasia” pieces, but the demo material provides a stripped-down glimpse inside the creative process of songs we now know and love.
