The Residents continued their thematic exploration with "Postcards from Patmos," a conceptual album that delves into the biblical exile of John on the Greek island. The record further blurs the lines between electronic experimentation and narrative storytelling.
- "Postcards from Patmos" was released on October 3, 2008, by Cherry Red Records.
- The album's concept is based on the biblical Book of Revelation and the experiences of John of Patmos.
- This release found The Residents operating in their established art-pop and electronic milieu, staying true to their experimental ethos.
The Residents are a long-running, anonymous art collective from Shreveport, Louisiana, known for their experimental mix of electronic music and conceptual art. In 2008, they were deep into their exploration of Greek mythology, a theme they would continue to engage with on subsequent projects.
