A million years ago a big rock fell out of the sky and landed rith in the middle of Louisiana.

Well, it wasn't Louisiana at that time. But that rock fell, and it hit hard making a giant dent. It gradually filled in, but no matter what, it still left a dent. And that dent held just enough water that it became a primeval swamp known as Coochie Brake.

Now this was not one of those swamps down on the coast. Those made sense. This one was two hundred miles from the Gulf. It just sat there, being a misfit to its surroundings. The locals avoided it. Always did. They said strange things go on in that swamp.
Things that should not go on.

Some young guys used to camp in Coochie Brake. They climbed the massive granite boulders that common sense said should not be there. They explored the caves that some said still hid a fortune in Spanish gold. Most importantly, they sat still and let the Brake speak to them as only the Brake can. Those teens grew up to become The Residents.
Their music is full of memories. Memories of misty fog, dark shapes and the unexplained sounds of Coochie Brake.

The limited 2CD edition of Coochie Brake got released last year. This one's the regular version.
Out on MVDaudio.
Foggy and dark. The intro says it all.
