John Mal

Actor John Malkovich is putting out an album titled Like a Puppet Show which is a collaboration with commercial director/photographer Sandro, and producer/composer Eric Alexandrakis. On it, Malkovich recites Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” over ambient music by Alexandrakis. (Sandro took the LP’s highly stylized photos.) Alexandrakis then gave the tracks out to a variety of artists to “mix,” including Yoko Ono & Sean Lennon, OMD, Efterklang, The Dandy Warhols, Blondie’s Chris Stein, The Cranberries’ Dolores O’Riordan and more. Sounds…interesting? Full tracklist and a stream of “Cryolife 7:14 AM,” which was mixed by Yoko & Sean, below.

The album is being released on vinyl only for Record Store Day Black Friday.
