John Cale has unveiled another track from his forthcoming new album POPtical Illusion. Shark-Shark is a purposely distorted song, where a dirty sounding guitar leads the way to a place where an avant-garde performance of Swan Lake brushes shoulders with art rock. The video was directed by Abigail Portner.
Sometimes, you write a song purely for a mood. “Shark-Shark” has two versions — both a nod to finding humor in music. When youʼre feeling too much of the real world, the best diversion is something that puts a grin on your face. I donʼt know how Abby and team kept this shoot together; being “unserious” was a lot of fun!
POPtical Illusion is available for pre-order: 2LP, CD, digital, and a limited edition 2LP (1000 copies) with a limited edition illusionary twirling paper Objet and a bonus 7" single with two exclusive tracks: Beethoven In The Old West and News Of Nicholas. The vinyl version has a different mix of the Shark-Shark track and does not include All Too Good. Customers who buy the 2LP will be able to hear the original version on the LP only and will also have access to the new version and the omitted track via the download card.
