The Gray Goo Post “Alligator Bundee”; Circus Nightmare Due in June
This one’ll make your day better. Get in the right frame of mind though. You’re thinking funky when it comes to Montana’s The Gray Goo, which is appropriate, but throw in some stoner chicanery and, in the case of this single, a heaping dose of Primus-style storytelling and noodling, and you’re well on your way to “Alligator Bundee,” which I think is kind of like Cocaine Bear except with a stoned gator who horror-eats a litany of humans and other creatures, including “babies, old ladies, puppies, rats and cats” and who — as an alligator — forcibly emasculated the engineer who recorded his debut EP because, “Snare sounded like shit.”
Comedy gold, in other words. The Gray Goo last weekend returned to Rocky Mountain Riff Fest in Kalispell, and “Alligator Bundee” is likewise a herald for their next full-length, Circus Nightmare, which will see release in June as the follow-up to 2022’s 1943 (review here). That debut spanned genres in such a way as to make me think “Alligator Bundee” is the beginning of what’s in store on the sophomore outing, not the end, and that’ll be just fine, thanks.
They made a post on the internet about a thing:
Surprise!
Our first single of our upcoming album titled “Circus Nightmare”.
Alligator Bundee displays yet another genre bending direction The Goo can travel to. This track reeks of a swamp and is about a serial killer alligator. Matt and I wrote this one after Zach got into a snowmobiling mishap and broke his back. We didn’t have a drummer and it was in the midst of the pandemic when Matt was living in my garage. We were bored and high, but the result turned out super fun! We really embraced our foot stomping Montana roots on this one… even though the song is about Florida… and most of us have never even seen an alligator in the wild… or been to Florida…
Oh well, a lot of things don’t make sense all the way up here in these cold dreary mountains. We hope you enjoy it, we love you so much and appreciate the support!
Anyway, the full album will be available in June.
