Description
1999’s California is the third and final album from Mike Patton’s genre-hopping group Mr. Bungle. Arguably their most accessible and pop-oriented record, they still manage to be beguiling and impressive in their range, covering territory as diverse as swing, rockabilly, country & western, bossa nova, Hawaiian and Middle Eastern music, jazz, Zappa-esque doo wop, arty-funk, post-rock, space-age pop, spaghetti-Western music, warped circus melodies, new age and heavy metal.
