Don't let the cover art fool you. This is not a Beach Boys' parody album sung by a "special" boy and his musical cat. This is Todd Congelliere's Clown Sounds + Clown Frowns. 23 songs by Todd, recorded throughout the past few years in the Recess Records Clown Sound Studio (converted garage).
 
Some of these songs have appeared on other record labels in the form of a split cassette w/ Jacob Hamilton (Clown Frown – People’s Republic Of Rock And Roll) and two 7-Inches (People In The Sand – Ol’ Tennis Shoes / Dangerous Intersections Vol. III – Traffic Street), but this CD has all that, plus 13 unreleased songs (Clown Sounds).
 
The liner notes features a story Mike Watt originally wrote to be the liner notes for BLACK FLAG's EP, The Process Of Weeding Out. I assume it didn’t make the cut because Greg Ginn thought it was too goddamn strange. That is why it is perfect for this release, rad dudes letting their freak flags fly. What more can I say, check it out while you’re doing the dishes, you lowdown punk! - Craig Ibarra
