CLAUDE VONSTROKE - URBAN ANIMAL

This is the Urban Animal's jungle. Claude VonStroke's third original album and the 100th release for dirtybird is indebted to this bold and bestial inner-city lifestyle, but its also a product of its creator; a unique subspecies steeped in that San Franciscan sound, intersecting unknown terrain on instruction of the inimitable dirtybird label boss. Just as Urban Animal's artwork reconstructs photography of derelict city architecture from Detroit and the Midwest into three compelling animal portraits, so too has Claude VonStroke sampled unexpected sounds from his chaotic working environment to create the ten intriguing tracks that make up his full-length composition. Think of VonStroke as a modern day, West Coast Frankenstein, his creature a rugged arrangement of the most discordant, unlikely parts whilst somehow brimming with beauty and human appeal. Spanning genre, space and mood, Claude VonStroke's Urban Animal is as unpredictable and bewildering as any living entity.
