Today, Shimmy-Disc finally unveils their brand new posthumous Archival Reissue of Bruce Haack‘s 1974 record, Captain Entropy. Alongside the record’s release today, Shimmy-Disc additionally shares a video for focus track, “Army Ants In Your Pants,” created by Ryan Hover.
The ominous twinkles of standout track “Army Ants In Your Pants“ are for enlightened parents & children alike – the song acting as a freewheeling tour of the warring world of social insects: army ants, their queens, and pupas. Their unique cycle of life is described in story-song by the vivid scientific imagination of Haack – our captain on this earth-ship. As cheerfully described by Haack in his own words upon its release in 1974, the song is, “A chance to belly-dance-while you learn some pretty heavy things about the social structure and group communications of certain insects. Very funny!”
The grunts of worker ants and Haack’s gently twanged voice spiral atop blinking synthesizers and banjo’s, leading us to the final step of his curriculum, a keen warning, “If you see an army of ants in a bunch, move outta town, you may be lunch!”
