TWELVE FOOT NINJA Releases Acoustic Album, Breaks Up

Well this sucks – Twelve Foot Ninja has officially called it a day.

To recap, Twelve Foot Ninja went on indefinite hiatus in 2022 after the departure of vocalist Nik Barker alongside the announcement they were working on an acoustic album that reworked their old material. That album – Mutant Dreams & Face Transplants: An Acoustic Experience – has finally surfaced, but sadly marks the definitive end of the band.

Twelve Foot Ninja had three records under their belt – Silent Machine in 2012, Outlier in 2016, and Vengeance in 2021 – all three of which you should listen to. You can also get Mutant Dreams & Face Transplants: An Acoustic Experience here, as it’s not available on any streaming services.

“G’day everyone,” wrote Twelve Foot Ninja. “Our acoustic album is here! No f!@king around! (apart from all the f!@king around). Here it is [on their website]. Mutant Dreams and Face Transplants – An Acoustic Experience comprises of 15 acoustofarkinphonic tracks including 12 TFN smash hits straight from the hit parade, and 3 new songs; peeled and washed, ready to bung into your minestrone ear mugs for some reflective time by the window.

“This album is a few things… One of them is an album… Which you can purchase digitally (in full) and/or get yourself a limited edition vinyl from our new website [here] (alternatively, you can listen to half of the album while you’re taking a shit on streaming services some time later on… More about that on our website).

“The second thing this album is; a massive ‘thank you’ to all of our supporters; we’re truly grateful for all of you. Without support, this past 16 and a bit years would have just been us wondering where everyone is.

“The third thing this album is; Twelve Foot Ninja‘s parting offering to the insatiable Sarlacc of streams, and the self-erected altar of this industry’s avaricious appetite. AKA we’re calling it a day and have decided to jump on jet skis and piss off in all different directions. We’re all incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved with Twelve Foot Ninja, and we hope our music and videos continue to resonate and be discovered by audiences for many years to come.

“Thank you again. You can keep up with us individually through our website.”
