![The Tonearm quote graphic for The Residents: a black-and-white photo of the band's four signature figures, each with a giant eyeball for a head, wearing a top hat, white tie, and tails. Three stand arm in arm holding canes, and the fourth, in front, grips a cane in both hands. Across the bottom, over a dark gradient, is the quote: "I'm not saying they've become religious, but the manifestation of [the Residents] in a lot of ways is more spiritual than concrete." Beneath it in large type: THE RESIDENTS. The Tonearm logo is on a red banner at the top, and thetonearm.com runs along the bottom.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u666j2556rfao6n5mabwecpf/bafkreibvsmsk4oennecrl2n7dzphkvoulvrm3cmhfupqvfbavcar6na5tm)
