New song titled “WAP (What A Predicament)” has been released by The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Claypool’s mutant-psychedelic project with Sean Ono Lennon. It arrives in conjunction with a major touring announcement.
The new song is a “warped meditation on morality, artificial intelligence safety, and the slippery slope of optimization without empathy.”
The Claypool Lennon Delirium centers on the core creative partnership of Les Claypool (Primus, Fearless Flying Frog Brigade) and Sean Ono Lennon (The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger).
Les Claypool will hit the road in Summer 2026 with Claypool Gold, a full-evening tour that brings together three of his bands: Primus, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. Each night, all the bands will share the stage all at once for a fluid show featuring wildly different setlists and surprises.
The tour kicks off Wednesday, May 20th in Reno, NV, and will travel coast to coast with over 25 shows in cities including Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Austin, Atlanta, andLos Angeles, before wrapping with a July 4th celebration in Napa, CA.
