.Not long ago, an unsolicited DVD arrived at The Residents' studio. Since the location of the group's private inner sanctum is a closely-guarded secret, the appearance of the disc was definitely regarded as a little strange. Other than the occasional piece of junk mail, nothing ever arrived at The Residents' intimate work space without an invitation. But the envelope containing the disc bore a ...
Anonymous performers The Residents, or the four interior decorators of the Apocalypse (as they call themselves on their MySpace page) will follow-up the digital release of their new album The Voice Of Midnight with the album's physical release on November 20th. The visual performance group's latest is adapted from the short story, Der Sandmann, by Prussian writer E.T.A. Hoffman, first publis...
[10-09-2008] Abandoning the eyeballs-in-tophats costumes for black face masks, flashlight eyes, and bunny ears, The Residents rolled through New York to debut what some are rumoring to be their final tour, though any information regarding this enigmatic group is to be taken with a grain of salt; their even more paradoxical PR company, The Cryptic Corporation, have been spreading disinformation...
"Title in Limbo is an album by The Residents in collaboration with Renaldo and the Loaf, released in 1983 on Ralph Records. Guest performers include Snakefinger (guitar and violin), and vocalist Nessie Lessons. The album was originally recorded during four days in 1981, when Renaldo and The Loaf were on vacation in San Francisco, but they were unable to finish the album before the duo went home...
Here are my thoughts from three years ago on Animal Lover by the Residents. If you haven't heard this one, just pretend that IT'S their new album and go listen to it. Also, "RzWeb" is now defunct, the excellent fan-created, Cryptic Corp.-inflated resource website for the Residents. Residents.com is alright now, and has more content than you might imagine, but RzWeb was a delightful cross-refere...
The Residents - The Bunny Boy(Santa Dog Records, 2008)4.5 out of 10A portrait of the reviewer as a young man, yes, but not as young as when I was just past boyhood, when I first heard the Residents as a 14-year-old and decided this Cryptic music was uberphenomenal. Their '70s catalogue, even through the earliest '80s, was and is seen by me as one of the finest and longest runs of fine records m...

Most certainly not of this reality, the Residents have always presented one of the most honest alternative pathways. The concept behind the recording that became known as "Not Available" was to truly never be released. Thus allowing the artistic expression to not be influenced by pending opinions. Or something to that effect. The concept of a French philosopher. Well, recording delays for fu...
