What are these glorious times? Who is in them? How long do they last?
These are questions that the Museum’s 3rd studio album leaves unasked. But in 2007, it seems that glory came with changes of state, things giving way to other things, other forms. (The dead become laughter, salt, etc…) These secular Transfigurations drive the album from beginning to end, settling into unforeseen change and confusion, first brought to the concert hall, to the microphone, opening the show with uncertain hesitation, apologies, and the comradery of shared fear. This invocation of “The Companions” also opens the album, veering wildly from paranoia to invulnerability, as in the answering-machine messages from Idiot Flesh light and puppet-master Brad Caswell: “I’m too strong now. I can’t lose. I try, but I’m too strong. I stole everything from you. I even stole your disaster.”
This first domestic vinyl release (at last!), on AVANT NIGHT and Joyful Noise Recordings, has been completely remastered by the Museum’s bassist and producer, Dan Rathbun, and is accompanied by the release of the 1st and 2nd of their classic albums. The new live line-up, which broke ground on the European tour of 2025 and tours the U.S. this spring/summer, completes the historical family circle with the drum throne being filled by Wes Anderson, who played with both Idiot Flesh and Charming Hostess.
