We’re not kidding! Dreams do come true, wishes are fulfilled: the iconic avant-garde American performance art collective The Residents has written music for Grace Ellen Barkey and Needcompany! The Residents leapt onto her shoulders and grabbed hold of her unruly hair, and then they galloped off together into another dimension and danced a divine duet. Just imagine: The Residents, the masters of weird, and Grace Ellen Barkey, the president of the movement against melancholy.

'This is just the beginning of the worldwide conceived movement of acceptance of all fungi that were considered potentially dangerous.'

In MUSH-ROOM we find ourselves in a forest full of mushrooms. These mushrooms unite and rise in rebellion...

'We are alive and kicking! Full of exceptional dreams and cosmic wishes!'
