Space-Age Lounge About Salvador Dalí Captain Xanadu And His Orbiting Orchestrions
Melting clocks. A lobster on the telephone. An elephant balanced on legs as thin as thread. Captain Xanadu And His Orbiting Orchestrions turn the strange, sumptuous world of Salvador Dalí into twelve tracks of vibraphone, theremin, and mambo horns. From a boy dreaming by the Catalan sea to a showman resting beneath the stage he built himself, this is a lounge album for anyone who ever wondered what a melting watch might sound like set to a cha cha. Witty, cinematic, and surprisingly tender, it's surrealism you can shake a cocktail to.
