Neil Hamburger releasing new LP First of Dismay, anticipatory chuckles heard across world

Comedian, performer, and not-a-real-human Neil Hamburger has a new LP coming out on July 22 through Drag City entitled First of Dismay, his first recorded material since 2012. If you’ve gone ahead and decided to continue read this article, then you most likely are familiar with Neil Hamburger, and you are within 30 seconds of quietly chuckling to yourself whilst reminiscing on all your favorite Neil Hamburger classics. Now you’ve moved on to mulling over whether or not you’d want to actually pay real-life money for recorded versions of said classics. But that’s none of my business.

To alleviate some of the stress of the decision-making process, we’ve got a bit more information on the 11 tracks of pure, dry comedy gold that constitute First of Dismay. Recorded at recent appearances in London, Savannah, and Los Angeles, First of Dismay combines his more traditional standup routine with what is being billed as “melancholy musical numbers” that include appearances from members of both The Germs AND Jefferson Starship.
