Since we’re living in an age where even the Pope can release a progressive rock album this news clearly doesn’t come as a surprise. Famous internet meme cat LIL BUB is releasing its debut album this winter. Yes, indeed. Entitled Space & Magic it will be released via Joyful Noise on December the 4th. And according to the press release it’s the ‘very first full-length concept album written by a magical space cat.’ Well, what else is there to say?
The 10-track strong instrumental album was put together with the help of pop mad man ANDREW W.K. who explains the process in the following quite out-spaced words
My name is Andrew W.K. and I have had the privilege of working with BUB and making music with BUB and even holding BUB in my arms. Not only is she the softest creature I have ever encountered, she is also the most musically and compassionately gifted. The songs on this album are her vision. They are by her, about her, and are her. Listening to these songs is the sonic equivalent to holding Lil BUB in your own arms.
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 following teaser gives a short impression on what to expect from LIL BUB‘s debut album. Even better: 25% of all proceeds from the sale of this album benefit LIL BUB‘s Big FUND for special needs pets. We’re expecting a Grumpy Cat announcement any day now. Here’s the Space & Magic trailer.
