SIMON & FARFENOUGAN & HUNTER
Chris Millar
Trepanier Baer and flask announce the release of Millar's "Simon & Farfenougan & Hunter", a limited edition book/album/print portfolio.
The project tells the tale of the greatest screw-ball folksy crapola album and it's eventual recession into obscurity. The fictional 1963 folk album features Simon & Farfenougan’s only performance with obscure Nunavut scuzz-metal front-man, Dave “The Iron Horse” Hunter. Amazingly, this scarce album was originally traded as ransom for Hunter and then girlfriend Becca Arnst in an abduction scandal that rocked the folk rock world. Hunter and Arnst were abducted by Bismuthians in retaliation for Simon and Farfenougan using Bismuthian mating calls in the original recording. The entire pressing was turned over for Hunter and Arnst in an astounding rescue mission, leaving the album un-released to the public until now.
In 1993 it was discovered that a portion of the pressings were made as picture disks, all of which were uncovered in a grain elevator in Brooks, Alberta by ham-radio enthusiast and lichen watcher Kevin Baer. Kept under wraps until now, this limited edition of 60 copies have been packaged with rare documentation of Simon and Farfenougan’s early years, their trip to Nunavut and the rescue mission that resulted in the loss of these unusual recordings, considered by many to be the finest example of screw-ball folky-crapola.
In keeping with his passion for mashing up pop culture, Chris Millar’s, "Simon & Farfenougan & Hunter" brings together an overwhelming array of visual, audio and textual information making this multiple/album/book yet another of Millar’s elaborately obsessive and excessive projects.
