John Lurie, the main founder of the NY's combo "The Lounge Lizards" in the late 70s and actor in the famous Jim Jarmush' movies (Stranger than paradise - 1984, Down by law - 1986) disappeared from NYC for quite one decade after a stalking incident. His whereabouts were a mystery and he is living now outside the United States on an island in a tropical climate where he spends much of his time painting.
After the amazing posthumous works of the African-Jewish musician, the legendary Marvin Pontiac in 1999, John Lurie is coming back with a new Marvin Pontiac CD issued last november: "The asylum tapes" , a twisted collection of songs about livestock, garden gnomes and horses falling down wells. Accompanying himself on guitar and banjo, Marvin’s plaintive voice is otherworldly.
As enigmatic as the first CD, this new record "The asylum tapes" contains amazing short blues and unexpected songs.
