The Times writes:

“This fall Herbert will release “One Pig,” which records the birth and life cycle of a pig on a local farm. Before the animal’s slaughter, he is currently toying with having it swallow a microphone that would subsequently record Radiohead’s Thom Yorke singing live in the pig pen; once the pig has gone under the knife, Herbert wants to “make bacon, ask an artist to paint with the blood, ask Heston Blumenthal to make ice cream with the pig fat, record the sound of a toothbrush made with the bristles, ask Bjork to play a flute made from the bones, ask Vivienne Westwood or Hedi Slimane to make a coat or shoes from the skin, ask Will Self to write a story from the perspective of the pig. . . . ” The list, seemingly, is endless.

As is, one presumes, Herbert’s future”

Whether or not you agree with what Herbert professes to be up to musically, it should make for a strikingly interesting album. Ha!
