The Residents Release New Studio Album
11/20/2007
From: Mute Records
The Residents released The Voice Of Midnight today - the follow up to 2006's
Tweedles.
With a long history of story-based music projects, The Residents have now crossed into the
world of music theatre. The Voice Of Midnight was adapted from a short story,
Der Sandmann, by Prussian writer E.T.A. Hoffman, first published 190 years
ago.
Musical pioneers, technological innovators and an influence to countless musicians and
artists, for several decades, The Residents have puzzled, intrigued and entertained
generations of fans. To this day, they have never granted an interview and the personal lives
and faces behind the masks have remained a mystery.
Anonymity is the one constant throughout the years, (the band were recently selected by
The Onion AV Club as one of the Top 12 Living Recluses). Anonymity and their
legendary innovation - musically, theoretically and technologically. Recognized by the
Museum Of Modern Art for their films that accompanied the 1980 release of the
Commercial Album and for the groundbreaking live show that accompanied the
original release of The Mole Trilogy, the band are also renowned for their
technological innovations. Award winning CD-ROMs supported the release of several titles in
the 90's.
