Happy Hallowe'en, Love, Jack'o Lantern by Various Artists
Well, here we find ourselves at my favorite time of the year: spooky season. What better way to celebrate the season than by listening to some new Halloween standards cut onto a spooky pumpkin record?! Happy Hallowe'en, Love, Jack'o Lantern is a love-letter to Halloween, featuring three eerie recordings: a brand-new Halloween anthem, Hallowe'en by Jack & The Skelly-Tones, the deeply disturing song-poem All I Got to Do from everyone's favorite ghoul Spencer Moody, and a reading of John Greenleaf Whittier's 1846 poem The Pumpkin by poetry goblin and electronic avant garde musician Mt. Fog. Let's talk about the record.
The records are 11" x 10" pumpkins cut from polycarbonate and lathe embossed, one at a time, using a ~1937 Presto 6DSP Record Maker. Side A contains all three songs, Side B has been UV printed with a piece of watercolor pumpkin clip art. These records sound amazing, but would look equally great hung on your wall: btw, the album art is 11x14 and printed on high-quality cream card stock, just in case you wanted to hang that up, too.
Tracklist:
1. Hallowe'en - Jack & The Skelly-Tones
2. All I Got to Do - Spencer Moody
3. The Pumpkin - Mt. Fog
