It's a safe bet that you've not heard anything quite like this. The closest comparisons are to things like Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, but there is a bit of a They Might Be Giants vibe here, too. Benjamin Dean Wilson worked in film before switching to music, and his songs are designed like short films. While this is not always a tight fit under progressive rock, it's clearly art rock, and that's close enough. This is quirky and odd, and also pretty cool, but it's not for everyone.

Another theatrically based oddity, this has some fun stuff. There are very 50s oriented elements, but a lot more alternative rock/pop based stuff, too. I particularly dig the weird world music based section around the six minute mark. This tune gets a bit of a parental advisory, too. The mellower section around the eight minute mark is quite cool, too.
