After the success of Andrew's 2008 release of Japanese pop rock covers, Andrew W.K. was approached by Sunrise Inc., the owners of the Gundam franchise, to record an album of classic Gundam music, to celebrate Gundam's 30th anniversary.

The album of English-language rock covers will be released on September 9th, in Japan, by Andrew's longtime label, Universal Music Japan. The release will feature the music from the first "Mobile Suit Gundam" television series and movie trilogy, as well as Andrew's versions of the Gundam score and background music. Plus, Andrew will reenact Gundam's opening narration and the famous memorial speech that the Gihren Zabi character gives for his fallen brother.

The album's front cover artwork features an original illustration by respected Gundam artist, Akira Yasuda. The image depicts Andrew flying through space next to the Mobile Suit Gundam. The album's design also features special photographs by Andrew Strasser.

It's not that good. Compared to Close Calls with Brick Walls, it's inessential. A one-time listen only.

dude has released four albums since The Wolf an I haven't a heard a single not of any of them

hurry up dude thats four tweets

He has had legal issues about releasing stuff in the States. I know that. This latest Cadillac record is the only that's came out since The Wolf. Close Calls is a wonderful album. Best thing he's done, easy. The Japan Covers and this Gudrun thing are meh. He's better when he's speaking in his own voice, rather than covers. That said, the two covers he just released on a 45 with Nardwuar the Human Serviette are both wicked. A Leather Uppers song and a Subhumans song.

its not gudrun is gundam and gundams own

Sorry. But musically the album is pretty dull. Instead of the either Japan/Gundam things, listen to Dragonforce. Same thing but faster, longer, harder, more epic, but equally pointless.

He's in a new online comedy series called Let's Big Happy. Even though the show itself is a Taco-Bell-shilling, faux-alt-cliche mess, he's still not remotely dislikeable.
