Primus adapted an obscure children's book into a wild musical opus with their ninth LP, The Desaturating Seven, out September 29th via ATO Records.
The Desaturating Seven is the band's first studio album of original material since 2011's Green Naugahyde – and their first with LaLonde and drummer Tim Alexander since 1995's Tales From the Punchbowl. The LP is based on Italian writer and illustrator Ul de Rico's trippy 1978 book, The Rainbow Goblins, which Claypool's wife introduced him to "many, many years ago." The couple, struck by de Rico's "vibrant and intense and eerie and somewhat creepy" artwork, used to read the book to their children – and Claypool earmarked the title for a potential musical project.
Can’t wait. One of the all time greats. Got to see the seven live. It was amazing. Hope this album gets really tripped out.
Yuusss!!
The Seven sounds so much like some early 90’s Primus. I’m hype! This should get a bit more hype on this website too!
Can’t wait.
The Scheme was uploaded to YT this morning, however I haven’t enough points to report apparently :'(
So stoked for the album though!
PRIMUS SUCK!!!
