Mystical Shit, King Missile's third album, came out on Shimmy Disc in 1990, first on vinyl, and marked a new chapter for John S. Hall's ever-shifting outfit. Composer Stephen Tunney had gone off to form Dogbowl, guitarist Dave Rick and bassist Chris Xefos had come in, and this was the first record the new lineup made together. The result is avant-garde art rock with a wicked sense of humor, Hall's voice out front and a band behind him happy to get weird.
"Jesus Was Way Cool" is the track that reached the countdowns, and its title alone points toward the humor that would make "Detachable Penis" their best-known song a couple of years later. The album was later folded into the compilation Mystical Shit & Fluting on the Hump.
