Chris Ballew (of The Presidents of the United States fame) is set to release his 3rd Caspar Babypants kindie album later this year. The disc, titled rather prophetically “THIS IS FUN!”, will feature a few newsworthy collaborations. Not all involve local NW talent, but never-the-less Caspar Babypants is continuing the Emerald City’s kindie collaborative campaign crowned earlier this year with the unique Kindiependent organization.
For “THIS IS FUN!” Ballew has enlisted the vocal talents of Elizabeth Mitchell on the duet “Dark of Night”. The tune was written by Ballew and his son Augie. Charlie Hope joins Ballew on the traditional “Mister Rabbit”, and Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic straps on the bass for “Sliver”, a song he should know pretty well.
Sounds like THIS WILL BE FUN!
The bad news? Caspar Babypants “THIS IS FUN!” doesn’t hit digital and physical shelves until November 2nd.
In the meantime, listen to the new track “Happy Heart” here.
