    'The Slithering Tentacles of Frank Zappa' w/ Seas of Mirth

    As I post this audio podcast , Seas of Mirth have just taken to the stage in Glasgow as part of their UK tour . They make jazzy aquafunk and festivals love them with their giant octopus in tow wherever they go. I had an interesting chat with the captain of the ship, Al Juddy about touring, rival jellyfish, influences, Equinox Festival, submarines, nottingham, gargling water, Roberta Pia, Howdo Bean and the lure of Thailand plus much more. You Call That Radio has no adverts, no sponsors and no funding .

The band’s sound has been taken to a new level on their fourth album Kriller. Recorded at London’s Total Refreshment Centre by producer Capitol K (known for his work with The Comet Is Coming, Flamingods, Alabaster dePlume) this is a deep-ocean inspired odyssey and various sub marine themes lurk within each of the ten linked tracks. With an extensive instrumental checklist, the sonic span widens into areas of psyche, dark funk, jazz, disco, ambient, latin, club beats and chime-pop. The prog-folk elements remain from their first two records, but this time around, comparisons have been made to the likes of Cardiacs, Stereolab, Talking Heads, Parliament/Funkadelic, Gong, Moulettes, Henge, Animal Collective and Frank Zappa. Live, there is a huge emphasis to bring the tunes to life in an enthralling sensory experience, made possible with big luminous sea creature props emerging through the course of the set, and various interactive opportunities for the crowd – this may even include a tug of war! Throughout the years, Seas Of Mirth have played at festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown, Bearded Theory, Bestival, Nozstock, Isle Of Wight, Solfest and Beat Herder as well as many UK and European tours to much acclaim.
