Later this week, Primus bassist Les Claypool and Sean Lennon will release their latest collaborative album as The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Titled South of Reality, it marks the duo’s second overall and follow-up to Monolith of Phobos from 2016. Ahead of its February 22nd release, the two-piece appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night to perform lead single, “Blood and Rockets”.
The track was inspired by famed JPL rocket scientist Jack Parsons, and their performance reflected a bit of the band’s fascination with space and beyond. As Claypool Lennon Delirium unfurled the expansive “Blood and Rockets”, swirls of deep red and purple twisted behind them like galaxies and star clusters.
