Notes

EP released through The Residents' newsletter for free download; no album artwork was provided.

Email release notes: "One of the most interesting finds in that long-forgotten storage annex was a vast collection of recordings The Residents made in relation to their work on the 'Hunters (The World Of Predators And Prey)' TV soundtrack. And by vast, we mean hours and hours of it, all sub-divided by animal species - some was submitted for the show, whilst some stayed home. So, always with one eye on Chinese wisdom and culture, the guys of course noticed that 2025 will be the year of the wood snake, a beast reputed to be a symbol of transformation and adaptability, which The Residents kinda resonate with. WOAH! So, with that in mind, we present something they're calling 'Wood Snakes' - a short collection of instrumental pieces produced with snakes in mind back in the '90s. It's a lot of fun, please enjoy it on us right HERE."

    You like the Residents? Get this! This is some kind of Meta-Residents. You know most of the sounds and the marching grooves, mostly from the Mark Of The Mole time. All pushed forward with a 2024 production.
