Residents, The - Intermission
Review by Peter Smyth
Intermission by The Residents is a unique and experimental album that showcases the band's avant-garde style. The album features a collection of short tracks that range from eerie soundscapes to upbeat and quirky tunes. The instrumentation is diverse, with a mix of electronic and acoustic sounds, and the vocals are often distorted and manipulated to add to the overall atmosphere.
The album opens with the track "You Yesyesyes," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its unsettling and disorienting sound. Other standout tracks include "The Sleeper," which features haunting vocals and a sparse piano melody, and "The Festival of Death," which is a frenzied and chaotic instrumental piece.

About Residents, The
US avant-garde group based in San Francisco.
The official inception of the Residents was the release of Meet The Residents in 1974, but members of the group had worked together since 1969 or perhaps earlier. The band is known for its wide range of named guest stars and collaborators, its multitude of concept albums, its ambitious multimedia, audiovisual, and stage projects, its highly reclusive nature (with all its public relations handled by ), and the mystery surrounding much of its activities, from its history since 1972 to the identities of its members.
The band has consistently related that it took its name from a rejection letter that it had received from Warner Bros. Records. They sent the label an anonymous demo tape, the letter thus simply addressed them as "Residents."
