“The Ballad of Sisyphus T. Jones”

This is an absolutely thunderous maelstrom of a spaghetti western-influenced song.

It exemplifies all of the best attributes of FOTEUS/Thirlwell: leaning on pre-existing genres, while twisting them to more idiosyncratic means.

One of the best part of FOETUS and Thirlwell is: he loves strings! As an ex-cello player, I revel in that sort of thing!

It is absolutely brilliant and endlessly listenable.
