Faith No More - Motherfucker

     Another old band, new music kind of situation tonight, and it's beginning to feel like I could have just turned around and started another theme week after finishing up with covers. Not that I'm complaining -- 2015 just keeps looking bigger and badder.

     Today's new song from an old band comes from a very old act, and one whose new album is generating quite a bit of online excitement. That band is Faith No More, and the first song to be released from their hotly anticipated new album is the provocatively titled "Motherfucker". The new record's not due out until sometime in the spring of next year, but "Motherfucker" gives us at least a taste of what might be in store.

     And what a strange little taste it is. It's fairly short, at around three and a half minutes, and it's based on Mike Patton's rolling, driving spoken word-esque vocal delivery. This might sound weird, but it reminds me a little of some Beck stuff, or the Butthole Surfers song "Pepper" -- there's a throwback for you. Anyways, check out the new Faith No More track "Motherfucker" and see if it reminds you of anything.
