Doodles And Noodles



David Shrigley is a funny, many-talented fellow. He is a visual artist, sculptor, photographer, filmmaker, video director and a really thorough album sleeve designer. He has some very devoted fans. He’s also a big fat liar.
In the forward to Worried Noodles, his 2006 book of song ideas and lyrics he wrote:

“I couldn’t be bothered to make a record. It would have been too difficult. It was easier not to make a record.”

Then earlier this year Shrigley made a record, a spoken word album that reminds us of Jam. And now, just to ram the point home, he's making another one. Tomlab has gathered an impressive bunch of acts to interpret the absurdist lyrics and scratchy doodles that make up Worried Noodles. Artists involved include Shrigley himself, Deerhoof, Hot Chip Grizzly Bear, David Byrne, Franz Ferdinand, YACHT, Final Fantasy and, yes, Liars.
