ratsnest records I wish i didn't sleep on buying this vinyl, oh well just dropped a hundo on discogs, i got nothing but mad respect for claypool and the artists involved in this album. i wish i could have seen that nye performance Favorite track: Pumpkin Pickin' Time.

grandchild I thought I'd get this for fun, and would have some weird stuff to listen to when I felt like having a childish time. Now I find, that I listen to it every day for the last 5 days... Make of that what you will.

Hard to choose a favourite track. Cousins, Pumpkin Pickin' Time, Grandma, Farmer Loved An Onion, His Name Is Beanpole are all insanely catchy. Favorite track: Grandma.

about

'All My Kin' is the strange and somewhat unbelievable album by an artist called Beanpole. “Starving artist” must have been their mode of recording as stories of farming, eating, and disfigured animal-human hybrids course throughout the record. Very little is known about Beanpole, but it is widely recognized by collectors that most of the music originated from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some sources maintain Beanpole is still active, although evidence remains unsubstantiated.

Primus’ Les Claypool claims he attempted to release a decade’s worth of Beanpole recordings on his Prawn Song label in the ‘90s. We’re told that the tracks were delivered to the mastering studio on worn-out cassette tapes and dusty DATs. As legend has it, when Claypool played the mastered tracks to his distributor, the response from company executives was poor. As a result, Claypool was summarily dismissed from his business relationship with the distribution company, effectively ending his label. For nearly 20 years thereafter, the tracks were to remain forgotten.

Fast forward to 2017 when Claypool was touring with Sean Lennon as The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Les played the old, neglected recordings to Sean, who decided that the world was finally ready for Beanpole!

I am with the mighty Primus for ages. A big influence for me. These songs here belong to the very top notch stuff in their oh so rich discography. Great edgy and moody stuff! minusoneman2

Quite a departure from the wild territories they ventured into with their major label releases. So far, the greatest thrash metal I've heard released in the 2020's. Plus, it's not everyday you hear Rhea Perlman on a metal record. t0cktock
