Wabi Sabi Bang Bang by Zandergriff Miggs & the Parliament of Owls
Date Released 3/8/2011 Sales 13 Listens 34
Improvisation is an "as is" medium. Everything happens in the moment and imperfections abound. Zander, with his beat up old B3 and the Owls with their ear for the jam have assembled a collection of beautifully imperfect gems. The wabi sabi aesthetic conveyed on a musical platform.
Wabi Sabi Bang Bang...Oh! what a chitty ride.

"My General Theory is that WABI SABI BANG BANG is a righteous album with classic tunes from beginning to end!"
humanblooper"One of the most fun albums by one of the most interesting bands on figment!"
poppinfresh"I've got to say, I really love this album. From the cover art to the story-telling nature to the crazy puns to everything else, this is a fantastic ride and a great complement to the 12" single recently released. Kudos."
FuriousGrace"This is the best album cover the Owls have ever had! Awesome job!"
frizbee"Driving around with "Wabi Sabi Bang Bang" playing, you'll almost believe a car could fly..."
poppinfresh"Love the Sid-and-Marty-Croft-esque cover and the nods to Ricardo Montalbán and Fred Rogers!"
poppinfresh"According to Wikipedia, Wabi Sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience. On Wabi Sabi Bang Bang, Zander and the Owls seem to have embraced that aesthetic and crafted a group of songs (or should I say jams) that fully embrace the transient nature of their music. From the funky cover art to the funky tunes this album fits together by simply drifting. It's the soundtrack to a day spent laying in a hammock, watching life pass by."
