Ego Plum is an American musician, award-winning composer, and producer from Los Angeles. Born under the name Ernesto Guerrero, his website jokingly lists his grandparents as Leon Trotsky and Frida Kahlo. His inventive & eccentric musical style stems from a variety of unconventional influences - the quirky jazz of Raymond Scott, the stop-and-go arrangements of Carl Stalling (musical director for Warner Bros. cartoons in the 1940s & 50s), the frenetic energy of groups like Oingo Boingo, Devo, The Residents, and The Dead Kennedys, with the haunting beauty of Franz Waxman and Bernard Herrmann. He has recorded, performed, and collaborated with artists such as David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), Frank Black/Black Francis (The Pixies), Steve Bartek & Johnny Vatos (Oingo Boingo), Gidget Gein (Marilyn Manson), and Genesis P. Orridge (Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV). He is also known for heading up the Ebola Music Orchestra, performing music for circuses of the damned, midget strip shows, and other uneasy listening. This track is from the album The Rat King, released in 2007 on the Ebolas Music Records label.
