Primus have announced their ninth studio album.
'The Desaturating Seven' will be released on September 29 through ATO Records. Discussing the inspiration for the LP, vocalist and bassist Les Claypool said:
“Many years ago when my children were little kidlets scurrying around the place wreaking havoc and whatnot till it was time for bed and book time, my wife turned them on to a book called “The Rainbow Goblins” by Ul De Rico. The dark imagery and beauty of the art struck me immediately and I thought, ‘this would make good fodder for a piece of music.’ The use of color and darkness both in the paintings and the writing was compelling and now, near two decades later, the metaphor of greed, gluttony and deceit vs unity of the masses is eerily relevant. I brought the notion to the Primus guys and they were all for it. Plus, I figured it's about time someone brought ‘Goblin Rock’ back to the fold.”
Check out the record's first single, The Seven, and tracklist below.
The band will tour the US with Clutch next month and hit the road for their own headlining US shows during October, November and December. Tickets for the latter go on general sale at 9am local time on August 4.
