Copy/paste from Pitchfork:

On the silver screen, John Malkovich has found fame as an actor, director, and Spike Jonze movie subject. Now, he’s putting out a record. Like a Puppet Show is out on vinyl for Record Store Day’s Black Friday event on November 27.

This is the first in a series of releases Malkovich has planned with his collaborators, director/photographer Sandro and producer/composer Eric Alexandrakis. For Like a Puppet Show, Malkovich read Plato’s Cave Allegory (as interpreted by Alexandrakis) over an original piece of music. Then the results were sent to a bunch of musicians, who contributed remixes and interpretations, including Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon, OMD, Efterklang, Placebo, THE DANDY WARHOLS [emphasis added], Blondie’s Chris Stein, the Cranberries’ Dolores O’Riordan, and more.

Says Courtney Taylor-Taylor: “It was fantastic to work with that Malkovich voice. And how about that monologue. Incredible. None of that pretentious highbrow shit going on here. Just some good ol down-to-earth Platonic theory regarding sensory perception.”

Fun.
