Officer!

Though it was recorded almost 20 years ago, "Dead Unique," an album by British art rock band Officer! is finally seeing its first release on Blackest Ever Black.  Prog, jazz, folk, pop, and raw rock swirl and bend around each other in complex and fascinating ways, reminding me of fellow avant-pop artists like Robert Wyatt and R. Stevie Moore.  It's abstract.  It's confounding.  It's art.  It's one of the most interesting albums we've been graced with in a long, long while.  Pre-order the album here (and read more about it), and listen to "V.I.M." below.
