After recording 12 Golden Country Greats in 1995 and releasing and touring behind the album, the band completed the remaining tracking of The Mollusk at various inland locations. At this point, the band also put the album on hold and made plans to record 1996's 12 Golden Country Greats in Nashville. The band's recording equipment and some of the material were nearly lost when a water pipe burst in the house while the house was unoccupied, eventually prompting the band to record, mix and master in a host of other locations. In 1995, the band relocated their recording equipment to a rented beach house on the shore of Holgate, New Jersey (Later jokingly billed as The Flood Zone). I couldn't wait for that one to come out." Īfter recording 1994's Chocolate and Cheese, Gene and Dean Ween decided they wanted to return to their early method of recording albums at home. That's my favourite record we've ever done.
Guitarist/vocalist Dean Ween has stated The Mollusk is his favorite Ween album: "I will say that the only record that I ever felt really confident about was The Mollusk. A departure from their distinctive genre-hopping humorous style of rock (but not losing the humor entirely) The Mollusk has been heavily praised by critics and considered by many to be the band's magnum opus. It is a multigenre concept album with a dark nautical theme, with most songs incorporating elements from psychedelia and sea shanties while also featuring a heavy progressive rock influence. The Mollusk is the sixth studio album by American rock band Ween, released by Elektra Records on June 24, 1997. Paintin' The Town Brown: Live Ween 1990 - 1998
