Details:Royal Trux “White Stuff” Live Free Or Die color-vinyl (2019, Fat Possum). New stock, sealed.

Description: “Forsaking the earthier vibe of later Trux records likeVeterans of DisorderandPound for Pound,White Stufffeels like an extension of Herremas work withBlack Bananas, thriving on the tension between old-school authenticity and modernist manipulations. Tracks like Purple Audacity #2 and Under Ice start out as deceptively anthemic sing-alongs, though the swaggering grooves, lysergic riffs, and synth smears eventually meld into hallucinatory swirls. Sic Em Slow is a tough boogie birthed from a flurry of tropical electronics.Kool Keith, meanwhile, turns up to rap about pizza on the boombox electro jam Get Used to This, the greatJudgment Nightdeep cut that never was.”
