It’s hard to keep up with all the cute, widely loved animals of the internet but Lil Bub is in a league of her own, with an almost cult-like following. The well-known feline has been the muse for a variety of artists like Steve Albini, Andrew W.K. and most recently had the opportunity to work on Run The Jewels’ remix album Meow The Jewels. However, the time has finally come for Lil Bub to release her own album. Today Lil Bub announces (with the help of Andrew W.K.) that her upcoming debut album Science & Magic is due out on December 4 via Joyful Noise Recordings.
Science & Magic is currently available for pre-order. And the sales will not be in vain— 25% of net profits from album sales will be donated to Lil Bub’s Big Fund for the ASPCA to benefit special needs pets. As a special treat while fans wait for the album’s release, Lil Bub has shared a trailer of what’s to come. It looks like Lil B’s cat KeKe might finally have some competition.
Andrew W.K. said this about Lil Bub’s album:
It may seem impossible that a cat could compose an entire album of carefully crafted instrumental music, but BUB is not simply “a cat”. She came from the deep unknown, on an intergalactic mission to help the people and animals of earth with her magic, talents, and otherworldly wisdom. I can attest to her power – the time I spent with her absolutely made me a better person.
The songs on this album are the soundtrack to BUB’s universal adventure, and a soundtrack to the universe itself. You’ll feel transported by the music’s stimulating spirit, and taken to places beyond your imagination’s limits, all the while experiencing the sonic aura of BUB’s loving and compassionate presence.
BUB is more than just a “muse”; she wrote this music and used the musicians on this album (BUB’s dude, Mike, and his close friend Matt, who is also the official bubbysitter), as her creative vessels to get the music from inside of her spirit and into your mind. If it weren’t for BUB, this music would not exist.
