LP - FATSO JETSO - CRUEL AND DELICIOUS Limited Orange with bone splatter vinyl, 300 copies

Originally released on CD via Josh Hommes rekords rekords label. Right in time for its
20th anniversary for the first  time on vinyl.

There must be something in the sand of sweltering Palm Desert, a California town that
has birthed Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age, as well as Fatso Jetson. Like
Kyuss/QOTSA, Fatso Jetson built a name for themselves by putting their own unique spin
on the Sabbath sound, but unlike their counterparts, larger than life singer/guitarist
Mario Lalli's true love lies in both jazz (Thelonious Monk, Eric Dolphy) and experimental
rock (Frank Zappa, Devo). On paper, this conglomeration of different styles sounds like
the perfect recipe for a train wreck, but it somehow all comes together on disc, as
evidenced by the trio's 2003 offering, Cruel & Delicious. Issued on old pal Josh Homme's
label, Rekords Rekords, the trippy songs perfectly fit the feel of the album's cover (a
sun-bleached photo of a long stretch of desert highway), especially such standouts as
the saxophone free for all "Drinkin Mode," the melodic "Light Yourself on Fire," the
bouncy instrumental "Heavenly Hearse," a barely recognizable cover of the Devo
obscurity, "Ton O Luv," and the jazzoid freak-out, "Pig Hat Smokin." Cruel & Delicious is
an enjoyable slice of hard rock, well off the beaten path
