The new album from trio Recess Monkey,

stream and enjoy
(NASDAQ:AMZN)—Amazon today announced that customers and Prime
members in the US, UK, Germany, Austria and Japan have access to
new original music for the entire family with the release of the
album Novelties from Recess Monkey. The latest album from the
Seattle trio, Jack Forman, Drew Holloway and Korum Bischoff,
features 14 fun songs like “Time to Make the Donuts,” “Sweaty Yeti”
and “Chasing My Tail” that the entire family can sing along to and
enjoy. Prime members can listen to Novelties on Prime Music at no
additional cost to their membership on compatible devices,
including Amazon Echo, Fire devices, iPads, iPhones, Android
devices, Sonos players and more. To find out how to listen, visit

album is available for digital download or physical purchase on
Amazon Music at www.amazon.com/Novelties-Recess-Monkey.
In addition to today’s release of Novelties, Prime members will
soon be able to enjoy more never-heard-before original music for
kids and families from artists such as Amy Lee, the lead vocalist
of the multi-platinum band Evanescence, Bob Schneider, the former
lead singer of The Ugly Americans, as well as the second original
kid’s album from Lisa Loeb—Loeb’s first original album for Amazon,
Nursery Rhyme Parade!, was released last year. New albums from Lee,
Schneider and Loeb will become available later this year for
streaming on Prime Music, as well as for digital download and
physical purchase.
“Prime members have loved having a variety of music to listen to
on Prime Music, including songs and albums just for kids and
families,” stated Steve Boom, VP of Digital Music for Amazon.
“We’re excited today to give our Prime members even more family-fun
music with today’s release of Recess Monkey’s Novelties, and look
forward to even more great family music from Bob Schneider, Amy Lee
and Lisa Loeb this year.”
“Novelties is a really eclectic bunch of songs that each
shine in their own crazy way, but come together in one madcap,
high-energy assortment. Some of the titles and stories came
directly from conversations with kids, while others were more
fueled by the kid-centric energy that we’ve absorbed throughout our
years in the classroom,” stated Recess Monkey. “Novelties is
our mirror on childhood: our own, the kids we teach, and our own
children. Creating this album with Amazon was a complete dream
come true for us—we had total artistic freedom to follow these
songs exactly where they were trying to lead us.”
“I’ve been writing and working on these songs for the last 5 or
6 years, with my son Luc. When Amazon said they were interested in
working with me, and wanted to release the songs, I jumped at the
opportunity,” stated Bob Schneider. “I’m really happy with how they
turned out, and working with my son has been one of the most
rewarding things I’ve had the pleasure to do since I began making
music. Even though the songs are primarily children songs, I think
of them the way I think of Roald Dahl books, Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory and The BFG, in that I think they will appeal to
all ages.”
