Morgan Taylor developed the “musical moving storybook” Gustafer Yellowgold experience as equal parts pop rock concert and hand-drawn cartoon movie.

In Gustafer Yellowgold’s Wisdom Tooth of Wisdom, the sixth offering in the Gustafer Yellowgold series, former Sun-resident Gustafer Yellowgold traverses the woodlands of Minnesota to find the owner of the world's largest and most mysterious molar.

Ten humorous and hand-drawn music videos follow Gustafer through a mind-bending adventure that unfolds in graphic novel fashion with an hilarious but poignant narrative about ownership, humility and the mind's capacity for knowledge.

The story kicks off with a joyous, acoustic jangle about imagination on “Telephone Called” and then travels to a front-row seat at a pterodactyl fashion show in the XTC-meets-Beck style of “It Suits You.” “Smilefield” sees Gustafer trying to resist the magnetic pull of distraction from a soundscape of melodic-pop moodiness that rivals the best of “Bends”-era Radiohead.

Gustafer goes with the flow during an impromptu visit to a grizzly bear dentist’s treetop office in the up-tempo rocker, "I Can't Feel My Face.” The story comes to a zenith in "Wisdom Tooth," which shares the grandest moment of groovy philosophizing in a tune so visual it would make Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber proud. Every video in Gustafer Yellowgold’s Wisdom Tooth of Wisdom receives the one-of-a-kind Gustafer blend of blissful pop-music, lyrical poignancy and gorgeously drawn cartoon absurdity.

Gustafer Yellowgold’s Wisdom Tooth of Wisdom is the first Gustafer Yellowgold release to be recorded ‘live in the studio’ with an all-new Minneapolis band with John Munson (Semisonic and late ‘80s cult favorite Trip Shakespeare), Ken Chastain (Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus) and Tom Scott. Also featured is the horn section of Robert Jost (Bjork, SNL, Sesame Street), Steve Tyska (The Autumn Defense) and Dean Jones (Dog on Fleas).

Bonus features include an in-depth episode of My Yellowgold Life with two segments: “The Tooth Will Set You Free,” presenting an up-close and behind-the-scenes visit with Gustafer’s creator, Morgan Taylor, and “Gustafer Guitar Lessons,” in which Morgan demonstrates his technique and shares tons of fun facts!

Morgan Taylor developed the “musical moving storybook” Gustafer Yellowgold experience as equal parts pop rock concert and hand-drawn cartoon movie. In Gustafer Yellowgold’s Year In The Day, we find former Sun-resident Gustafer Yellowgold enjoying his Minnesota woodland home and experiencing his own unique take on a year’s worth of Earth holidays, both classic and unusual.

Featuring top-tier guest musicians such as John Munson (Semisonic and late ‘80s cult favorite Trip Shakespeare,) Robert DiPietro (Norah Jones) and Robert Jost (Bjork, SNL, Sesame Street), Gustafer Yellowgold’s Year In The Day is the first Gustafer Yellowgold DVD/CD package to feature a focused theme throughout, unfolding in graphic novel fashion and sequentially connecting eleven thought provoking, melodic soft-rock music videos in the inimitable Gustafer Yellowgold style, ranging from sublime alt-pop to gentle acoustic.

These humorous and hand-drawn music videos follow Gustafer through eleven different days of the calendar year. The season kicks off with the crackling, minty optimism of “New Is The New Old,” then moves to some worm’s-eye-view philosophizing with a groundhog in the McCartney-esque “A Shadow.” “Pancake Smackdown” gets a Freddy Mercury-type royal treatment by intertwining a rocking medieval choir with a flurry of frisbeed flapjacks to celebrate Fat Tuesday/Pancake Day. Gustafer spooks himself with an awesome Halloween costume in the howling 1970s guitar-driven exhilaration of “Werewolves Rock,” then settles head first into comfort food heaven in the Tin Pan Alley swing of “Pumpkin Pied.” Many more celebrations receive the one-of-a-kind Gustafer blend of blissful pop-music, lyrical poignancy and gorgeously drawn cartoon absurdity.

Bonus features include an in-depth episode of My Yellowgold Life, “Making of Year In The Day,” where we go up-close and behind the scenes with Gustafer creator, Morgan Taylor, and “Gustafer Guitar Lessons,” in which Morgan demonstrates his technique and shares tons of fun facts!

Gustafer Yellowgold’s Mellow Fever is the third in the award-winning series of DVD/CD sets released by Apple-Eye Productions.

Groovy Gustafer Yellowgold has come to Ear th in his Sunpod and landed in Minnesota. He is living out his dream of a cooler existence while making new and interesting friends along the way. Along with a richer look into Gustafer’s former Sun-years, we learn of Slim the eel’s old watery neighborhood within the rolling and climbing acoustic guitars of “Underwater Stars” and lament the loss of some excellent bell-bottoms with Forrest Applecrumbie, the pterodactyl in the thump and jump of “Panther Stamps Pants.” The gang watches as Gustafer learns to put his warm mitts to good use in the acoustic Charleston of “Melter Swelter.” We meet his biggest fan Wincey the ferret between the fan faring french horns of “Sugar Boat,” and tour the world with Sisson the blue worm through the Harry Nilsson-esque romp of “Quite Easily Lost.”

Gustafer Yellowgold’s Mellow Fever has guest-star performances by WILCO’s John Stirratt and Pat Sansone, as well as Lisa Loeb. Each song is accompanied by a series of hand-drawn, minimally animated illustrations set to melodic and catchy tunes ranging from mellow acoustic to crackling-pop.

Since his creation in 2005, Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon, acclaimed by the New York Times, which describes it as, “A cross between ‘Yellow Submarine’ and Dr. Seuss.” Enter tainment Weekly praised “…The most infectious original songs. It’s like tapping into some pleasure center in the brain- both adult and kid…absurdly appealing. Grade: A.” New York Magazine named Morgan Taylor “Best Kids’ Performer” in its 2008 “Best of New York” issue. “Mint Green Bee” from Gustafer Yellowgold’s Wide Wild World is the Session I Grand Prize Winner in the Children’s Category of the 2008 John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

The nine-song sucessor to the critically acclaimed Gustafer Yellowgold’s Wide Wild World released in early 2007 and described by The New York Times as “Dr Seuss meets ‘Yellow Submarine’!”

Gustafer Yellowgold’s ‘Have You Never Been Yellow?’ continues in the tried and true fashion of the first release, as a series of colorful videos with minimally animated illustrations set to catchy pop tunes, from the singular imagination of illustrator/songwriter Morgan Taylor. This second release made Disney Family.com’s and NPR’s “Best of 2007” lists, and was voted Best Album of the Year in the 2007 Fids & Kamily Awards, modeled on the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop Poll.

Groovy Gustafer Yellowgold is fulfilling his lifelong dream of living on Earth after leaving his home on the Sun. His adventures continue with his gang of pals, Forrest Applecrumbie, the sharply-dressed Pterodactyl, Slim the Eel and Asparagus the Dragon. We get a more in-depth view of Gustafer’s environs as he explores his backyard woods, leaving no rock unturned! We bob along to the bouncy acrobatics of “The Mustard Slugs,” while away a mellow afternoon with Gus in the soft-rock haunt of “The Bluebird Tree” and crunch out loud with Gustafer and his new favorite food in the Queen-esque “Pinecone Lovely.” Even Asparagus the Dragon gets interrupted mid-meal in the french horn-laden ditty “Aye, Aphid.”

“The best music is happy and sad at the same time.” - My 8 year old son.

Light and dark. Opposite but together. That’s life, right?

Brighter Side, Gustafer’s first music-only release, thematically expands on the two stories of the series’ protagonist, friendly alien Gustafer Yellowgold, from his current life in Minnesota back to his years spent growing up on the Sun.

In the Sun songs, Gustafer reveals his youth struggling as a Sun-dweller. Detailing his experiences with ‘heat based insomnia’, familial work expectations, and shunning popular Solarian life-aspirations. Sun life wasn’t all bad though, Ellen Lemon is a tuneful ode to Gustafer’s best girl-friend and confidante.

Most of the Earth songs illustrate Gustafer’s current charmed life in the woods of Minnesota. Tracks like “Baconstein," however, show that Earth can have its own hazards, personalities and egos to navigate. It’s a reminder that there is good and bad and tension and ease in everything.

The album concludes with a lush and even mellower anniversary re-record of 2005’s popular “I Jump On Cake”.
