Have you preyed lately to your GORPLORD? Too late—zhe has come for you, channeled into this world through the fevered emoginations of Evan Strauss & his snazzy but demented NYC posse. (Once you get past the introduction it's surprisingly easy to listen to.) Gorplord equals great stoner jams, but expect to wrangle some demons while this one plays. You may come out the other side a different person, or not a person at all. - Cosmic Primitive

Award winning experimental film maker Carl Elsaesser writes of GORPLORD's sophomore release Hootenanny:

"In response to this music I will tell you a dream I had last night that includes my dear friend Adrian who met me in a fenced in backyard where I was digging in the dirt with a couple of people. He opened the door and had long hair to his waist. He was wearing all beige including beige long pants, a beige long shirt and a beige sweater down to his knees. We were all very very impressed by how androgynous and sophisticated he looked.

Hootenanny never quite reaches a sardonic, sympathetic or heavy tone. Instead Hootenanny embraces confusion. Despite all the productive displacement and experimentation, there are some real toe-stomping, foot sliding back and forth, good old songs to enjoy, such as the title track, which I would totally play at my nephew’s birthday party." - Carl Elsaesser

Concerning the opening track from GORPLORD's "Hootenanny," a fan writes:

"'Party On, Susan!' is like a paradoxical lullaby. Soothing enough to put me to sleep, but exciting enough to keep me up, for fear of missing a beat!" - GORPLORD fan mail

Concerning the song "First Rate Tailgate" from GORPLORD's "Hootenanny," a fan writes:

"'First Rate Tailgate' plays like the soundtrack to a trippy sci-fi scene of a film with a satisfying, suspenseful cliffhanger. Oddly soothing!" - GORPLORD fan mail

A Fan Writes of "Never Calm Down":

"This makes me feel groovy and weirdly powerful. not empowered -- powerful. also, i think that if i had been forced to sit still during the last track i would have felt really ghastly. but i moved around a lot so that i could be a conduit rather than a container for the track.

also, mosquitoes play kazoos, and if you have any sense of nj at all, i would like to hear from you." - GORPLORD Fan Mail

The second improvised outing from NYC's GORPLORD is tighter, funkier, & seven times more streamlined than their debut. Which is to say, none of the above. A sprawling epic of muddy freedom, el skronko de facto, rinse & repeat.

Secret: GORPLORD is a pop band playing hard to get. Do not listen while driving. It's a party in your mind. - Cosmic Primitive
