Russell's Shorts

The Arrogant Worms

Harmonically sophisticated folk-comedy from 1994. Tight three-part vocals deliver absurdist tales of killer robots, vegetable rights, and feline possession.

1994 · Not On Label (The Arrogant Worms Self-released)

An infectious blend of high-brow musicality and low-brow absurdity that feels like a private joke shared with the listener.

Moments Worth Listening For
The mock-operatic intensity of the vocal harmonies during the climax of Carrot Juice Is Murder.
The sudden shift into a traditional country western drawl for the sensitive cowboy parody.
The rhythmic, chanting repetition in Killer Robots From Venus that mimics a low-budget sci-fi score using only voices.
