Andrew W.K. Helps Lil Bub Announce Debut Album 'Science & Magic'
Lil Bub, the famous feline that has been a muse for both Steve Albini and Andrew W.K. and was featured on Run The Jewels' Meow The Jewels album, is now is taking musical matters into her own hands with the release of her debut album Science & Magic.
In addition to the album's regular pressing release, a limited batch of 500 VIP copies of the album will come with special artwork and signature from Lil Bub. Even better, one-quarter of the album's proceeds will be donated to Lil BUB's Big FUND for the ASPCA to benefit pets with special needs.
Andrew W.K. released the following statement about Science & Magic:
It may seem impossible that a cat could compose an entire album of carefully crafted instrumental music, but BUB is not simply "a cat". She came from the deep unknown, on an intergalactic mission to help the people and animals of earth with her magic, talents, and otherworldly wisdom. I can attest to her power—the time I spent with her absolutely made me a better person. The songs on this album are the soundtrack to BUB's universal adventure, and a soundtrack to the universe itself. You'll feel transported by the music's stimulating spirit, and taken to places beyond your imagination's limits, all the while experiencing the sonic aura of BUB's loving and compassionate presence. BUB is more than just a "muse"; she wrote this music and used the musicians on this album (BUB's dude, Mike, and his close friend Matt, who is also the official bubbysitter), as her creative vessels to get the music from inside of her spirit and into your mind. If it weren't for BUB, this music would not exist.
