WILLIAM BURROUGHS Captain Xanadu and His Orbiting Orchestrions
Step into the Interzone. Captain Xanadu and His Orbiting Orchestrions turn their vibraphones, theremins, and cocktail-hour brass toward the strangest literary outlaw America ever produced. Across eleven tracks, this concept album drifts from the junk-sick haze of Mexico City to the burlesque horns of Paris, from a narcotic mambo to an atomic-age rag, tracing one writer's collision with addiction, exile, censorship, and the cut-up method that rewired language itself. Equal parts tiki bar and dossier, the record is playful where Burroughs was playful, and stops the music cold where it needs to. Every song hides a wink for the initiated and a hook for everyone else. Grab a drink, fold the page, and let the tape play backward. A Captain Xanadu And His Orbiting Orchestrions release, from Ultra Galaxy Records.
