about

“Vonnegut meets The Residents in this thrilling, genre agnostic concept album.”

Hall of the Menthol Chill tells the story of three teenagers living in a highrise block, attempting to live their best lives when they find themselves entangled in an extraterrestrial plot larger than themselves. This tale takes place in Poland, though set in a parallel universe. One of the teens, a particularly gifted and lonely sort, attempts to communicate with the world through sound, but to no avail. One day the teen has a breakthrough, and makes contact with his first friend, Jan, who acts as the narrator for the album. Emboldened by their success, the teen continues their experiments before making contact with another mysterious being, who they incorrectly take for a spy conspiring against Jan. However, this creature turns out to be an alien from Alpha Persei, who warns the teen about a comet coming to destroy the earth. The Persean ships are already in Earth’s orbit, but they can only save one human…will our innocent protagonist make it aboard before the earth is destroyed?

When you hear Stoned Gypsy Wanderer, you are hearing authenticity. He was and is The Wanderer. ... more
