The Carnivorous Plant Society, led by trumpet and keyboard player Finn Scholes, plays original music with wide ranging influences.

Mexican mariachi mixes it up with futuristic sci‐fi space sounds and macabre, spine‐chilling nuances drawn from Stephen King novels.

Some of Auckland's top musicians have joined together on this album, playing an interesting array of instruments. The trumpet, mellophone, flugelhorn, ocarina, recorder, trombone, glockenspiel, violin, cello, double bass, guitar, vibraphone, tuba, euphonium, congas, synthesizers, keyboards and drums all have their say. The players even pucker up and whistle on occasion.

All tunes are composed by Finn Scholes, who has worked with many bands over the past 10 years. These include Bannerman, Spoilers of Utopia, The Shades, Tangent, Bolo, One Million Dollars, Batucada Sound Machine, the Mamaku Project, Kantuta, Motorcity Family Funk, the Mexican Mariarchis, Matecito Latin band and the Rodger Fox Big Band. Each band has influenced the Carnivorous Plant Society's music in some way.

The album is supported by three cartoon‐style videos, painstakingly hand drawn by Finn Scholes at the kitchen table.
