Les Claypool has confirmed the release of Adverse Yaw: The Prawn Song Years Box Set, a five-album set collecting his 2000s solo recordings. The compilation will officially drop on Feb. 9, via his own Prawn Song Records.

Documenting music recorded during the past almost 25 years, Adverse Yaw: The Prawn Song Years Box Set, will feature his work with The Fearless Flying Frog Brigade (Live Frogs Sets 1 & 2, Purple Onion) and Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains (The Big Eyeball In the Sky), as well as his solo LPs (Of Whales & Woe, Of Fungi & Foe), which featured members of The Fancy Band.
