Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Angle Of Repose Reaction This is the most bizarre music we've ever heard

[@ronaldmcdonald8168]

Carla Kihlstedt, absolutely crushes it on this song!

[@BlueFlameJay]

Carla is a monster talent!

[@TV-lb1wn]

Worth noting that Carla Kihlstedt (vocals/violin) was a session musician on Mr. Bungle's California album.

[@mysticsaxophone4181]

Haven't checked the reaction yet but these guys might be my favorite band of all time. Challenging at first but they are surprisingly funky which should ease people into them.

[@nathanstreilein758]

Up there for me too. So glad they are coming back. Would absolutely love to see them live.

[@wardka]

@@nathanstreilein758 They reformed? That's good news!

[@nathanstreilein758]

One of my favourite albums ever, and this might be my favourite song on the album.

[@msiaregodz]

HOW DID I MISS THIS! I LOVE SGM!!!! I have every album on cd and vinyl!

[@teebag48]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned their song Powerless. Not only the creepiest song I've ever heard, but also has the catchiest bass line that will give you nightmares LoL

[@slothislegend36]

AMBUGATON! There is no way to ease into the bizarrely wonderful world of SGM...you just gotta dive in and swim around in the sonic mystery. The most "accessible" tune is probably "1997 (Tonight We're Gonna Party Like It's...)" That one will get ya boppin around your living room.

[@JimboKM]

Being an old fart, my frame of reference would be King Crimson instead of Mr. Bungle, but I have to say I like this. I'm going to search the band name and see what else they are offering.

[@melvinwomack3717]

Or Van de graaff generator

[@michaelstonedrums6877]

Please try "The Donkey-Headed Adversary of Humanity" by this same band. They were the best band I ever saw live. Absolutely outstanding.

[@guycomments]

One of the most poetically robust songs ever

[@MichaelEldridgClever]

I think it was A Hymn to the Morning Star that I heard years ago from them. Bizarre and haunting. But yeh, the commenter below is right - Sleep is Wrong is worth listening to.

[@Jeminai77]

Amazing Band. i always suggest "The Donkey Headed Adversary of Humanity" if u ever get to it.

[@mynameismud1201]

SGM is weird but very wonderful if you can get into them, multiple listens can def be required. They came from the same stomping grounds as Primus! Try Sleep is Wrong by them!

[@Brian-kl1gf]

Hello from New England..OMG I don't believe you did STGM...They were an 8 piece band with 4 singers a percussionist and a violin player..they are like nothing you've ever heard..very avantgarde...Try listing to THE DONKEY HEADED ADVOCERY...much more cohesive banger of a track..wow about time someone did STGM.. Peace from the Northeast...

[@nathanstreilein758]

They're coming back!

[@Baribrotzer]

Not 8 pieces. Five. The original line-up was Nils on guitar, flute, and vocals, Dan on bass and vocals, Carla on violin and vocals, Moe! on home-made junkyard percussion, and David on drums. Also, they all played home-made string and percussion instruments of various sorts, many of which were quite large and odd-looking. Frank eventually replaced David, then Matthias replaced Frank. And Michael replaced Moe!, he sang and played second guitar and trumpet as well as percussion.

[@harlanmonk569]

Sounds like Bjork and Mr. Bungle had a baby!

[@Caleb-il7om]

Thanks for doing this guys, hope I didn't weird yall out too much with this one. I'm a huge Opeth fan and have enjoyed all of those reactions multiple times, was wondering what you thought of my other fave band lol

[@Caleb-il7om]

Sorry to put yall on the spot, it's certainly not an easy thing to react to! Props for even doing it, thanks again

[@nickinimik8071]

I think they would dig the filthiness of something like 1997, though.

[@Caleb-il7om]

@@nickinimik8071 yeahhhh...I should've done a more banger track. I almost did 'unreliable narrator' from Free Salamander Exhibit too

[@ronaldmcdonald8168]

Idiot Flesh's (pre SGM) song "motherfucker" would have been a good one to recommend as well.

[@mysticsaxophone4181]

@@Caleb-il7om I think they'd like some of their soaring epics like The Companion or The Freedom Club.

[@uriaslopezcristiangiovanni5695]

if you like almost a little, take a look "the donkey headed adversary of humanity opens the discussion - Sleepytime Gorilla Museum"

[@thadmatson4754]

Outside the box…..is a bag.

[@alfonsoagren414]

That was weird. I like weird but this was a bit too much ”street theatre” for my personal taste. Pieces in this song where incredibly good. Heard both Björk and parts of Stolen Babies and other creative influenses. Sadly, living in sweden, I am overfed the folk music violins and not very fond of the sound. Drums sounding like they where in the next room was probably to make it sound more unproduced, which in itself is a contradiction since it is a production choice…lol go figure. I will try other tracks but this was Almost Good. Very skillful musicianship. Fun to see you guys challenged with something new too! Stay Metal! 🤘😎🤘

[@Caleb-il7om]

Stolen Babies are actually influenced by them, they're good friends, I bought merch from Dominique at one of their shows bc she was running the table They've got a lot of homemade instruments, for example using a piano string and hitting it with a hammer, they like playing intricate things on unwieldy instruments. There is a male singer that does growling but I wasn't sure if it'd be too weird for a recommendation

[@alfonsoagren414]

@@Caleb-il7om interesting! I love Stolen Babies! Got all albums. Hard to get hrre so I imported. So this is from before SB even? Cool! 👍

[@Caleb-il7om]

@@alfonsoagren414 yeah, they're a lot more interesting than 1 song without any background lore can provide, def check them out, and yes before stolen babies, even a band before this one that goes back even further

[@ambassadortourettes753]

LITERALLY JUST PURCHASED TICKETS TO THE MARCH SHOW IN PORTLAND OR SHOW!!! Pardon the brag I thought you would appreciate a proclamation of such nature…. I have no doubt you are up to date with their activities 🙄 However?? After long long awaiting they have returned ☝️❤️🙏🫣
