Legendary oddballers Primus have been at it for roughly a quarter of a century, hacking away at their mud-on-your-tires carnival punk all the way. The band’s recent album, The Desaturating Seven, a conceptual take on the Italian children’s book The Rainbow Goblins by Ul de Rico, sounds a little like a slap-bass-reimagined Green Jellÿ with Mike Patton at the helm, which, to be fair, is what Primus seem to have been shooting for the whole time. Still, Les Claypool and gang take their vision all the way, so prepare for a scene weird enough to fit the concept. TODD HAMM
