[ Fishrider Records New Zealand / CD ]
Release Date: Tuesday, 10 March, 2009
'The Shakespeare Monkey' refers to the idea of infinite probability...the idea that monkeys typing typewriters for an infinite amount of time would eventually produce the works of William Shakespeare. It could also be about the arbitrary nature of creative inspiration.
This, the Puddle's 6th album in over 25 years (and only the 4th studio album to be released), sees George D. Henderson joined by Gavin Shaw (Sferic Experiment, Children's Television Workshop) on bass and brother Ian Henderson (The Dark Beaks) once again on drums to deliver a wildly diverse collection of tunes with a stylistic range George describes as ranging from "Andy Williams to Iggy & The Stooges".
The subject matter is as eclectic as ever too, ranging from populist philosopher Colin Wilson (As It Was), dead poets (One Romantic Gesture), film stars (Milk), infinite probability (The Shakespeare Monkey), the Greek God Pan (Seduced By Virgins), human excess (High on the Hog) and just plain weirdness (Friends and Shivver).
