Lumpy Gravy is the debut solo album by Frank Zappa, written by Zappa and performed by a group of session players he dubbed the Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra. Zappa conducted the orchestra but did not perform on the album. It is his third album overall: his previous releases had been under the name of his group, the Mothers of Invention

Lumpy Gravy, Frank Zappa's first solo album, was released months before the Mothers of Invention's third LP (even though its back cover asked the question: "Is this phase two of We're Only in It for the Money?") and both were conceptualized and recorded at the same time. We're Only in It for the Money became a song-oriented anti-flower power album with one concrète/sound collage hybrid piece by way of conclusion

Lumpy Gravy is the first solo album released by Frank Zappa. This is probably the most exprimental album he has released and as FZ said it has NO COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL AT ALL. It reminds me of some works by Stockhausen. Lumpy Gravy was released as a Zappa album rather than having the Mothers of Invention tag because, although the music is still composed by Zappa, it's not a band effort and the piece in question isn't really intended for a band context - it's a weird rock and roll doo-wop free jazz orchestral piece with spoken word elements recorded from.

Lumpy Gravy’ is musical dynamite. Frank Zappa, in collaboration with the Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra, has brought to life 30 minutes of audio, in a way that no other 1960’s musical visionary could have dreamed of. The record sounds somewhat like a radio playing. In a circus big top. On the moon. The authority which Varese’s legacy maintains over this album is most palpable in the album’s structure and content; amid songs, odd ‘noise’ samples are placed, which range from exotic percussion to what appears to be animal noises. The result is the configuration of an uneasy ambience. Such an atmosphere is fortified by the recording approach of the spoken word elements of ‘Lumpy Gravy’; in assembling his cast of orators inside a piano, with the sustain pedal depressed, Zappa has crafted some seriously eerie vibes, which spring forth from some very peculiar characters.
