The Lonely Island drop visual album on Netflix

Netflix

The Lonely Island have released a surprise visual album on Netflix

Titled The Lonely Island Presents: The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience, the officially termed “visual poem” was released on the streaming service at midnight on Wednesday. 

The comedy trio – consisting of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone – joined forces once more for a musical spoof of US baseball players Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, played by Samberg and Schaffer respectively. 

It also features appearances by Jenny Slate, Hannah Simone, Sterling K. Brown, Jim O’Heir, and Maya Rudolph.

Directed by Mike Diva and Schaffer, the opening title of the visual album reads: “In 1988, Major League Baseball was set aflame by Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, aka The Bash Brothers. They were known for their towering hoe runs and mind-bending play, but what many don’t know… Is that they recorded an album... of raps.”

Tracks on the album include “Jose & Mark”, “Oakland Nights”, “Focused AF”, “Bikini Babe Workout”, “IHOP”, and “Daddy”.

The visual album is available on Netflix with the audio album itself available through various streaming providers.
