{"product_id":"twin-infinitives","title":"Twin Infinitives","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1990, Royal Trux’s \u003ci\u003eTwin Infinitives\u003c\/i\u003e is re-issued in all its (yet to be translated) alien glory, by Fire Records. A dismantled overture that sprawls out over two records, an avant-garde masterpiece that was the spark for Drag City Records and generations of new sound seeking musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHailed in the same immortal breath as Beefheart’s\u003ci\u003e Trout Mask Replica\u003c\/i\u003e, the Velvets’ at their frenzied peak and Ornette Coleman at his most avant-garde, the duo of Pussy Galore’s Neil \"Michael\" Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema recorded \u003ci\u003eTwin Infinitives\u003c\/i\u003e while imbibing all kinds of mind-altering substances to create an inadvertent blueprint for what the duo was building with moog’s, guitars and melodicas to name a few ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the legendary second album from the masters of the genre mashup - long before “genre mashups” even existed. Arguably, the term “mashup” was coined to describe what Trux, as they subconsciously scrolled through the radio stations of their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album’s chaotic sound and offbeat construction laid the foundations for a string of Royal Trux albums that spiralled between genres, tunings, and noise. Through the 90s they would re-invent the rock ‘n’ roll ethic, straddle alien surf music, re-align boogie rock, not to mention 80s hair metal, and confound critics by their wildly meandering and courageous rites of passage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemastered as part of a career spanning catalogue deal with Fire Records. The infamous and influential duo of Jennifer Herrema and Neil Hagerty will be delving into the archive with a comprehensive reissue series, unearthing the vaults and revisiting what made them such a compelling benchmark for their contemporaries and imitators. Reawakening their prolific output within a new monochrome vinyl series covering 1988-1993, they begin with their seminal deconstructed rock masterpiece \u003ci\u003eTwin Infinitives\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50430061674827,"sku":"2179232","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Royal_Trux_-_Twin_Infinitives_ff7c2285_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726843390","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/twin-infinitives","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
