Album cover by Victor Cayro

"Matthew Thurber is a five-star comic artist , Queens College educator , & musical provocateur generated on a small Washington island & long tenured in NYC . his ruse Popular Pig was spawned in reaction to the progress of the Wishnia-Moore-Thurber workgroup which had been studying the effects of microbial exposure to group improvisation circa 2015 at Tomato House laboratories ... having absconded w/ the groups confidential & proprietary findings , Thurber ensconced himself in his makeshift lab nestled deep in New Yorks subterranean 6th borough & recorded the Popular Pig album as an encrypted testament to exactly that paradigm-shifting data the IMF-run art establishment would love to suppress . includes the cover of Janes Addictions "Been Caught Stealing" you didnt know you were missing . M.T. : never failing to act as one of his own characters !" - OSR.
