Product Description
CD Description
Prawn Song are excited to announce that Primus will be releasing its first studio album in 11 years on September 12, 2011. Titled Green Naugahyde, the record was produced and engineered by Les Claypool in his personal studio, Rancho Relaxo, in Northern California, and features Claypool, long-time guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Jay Lane. Lane was in an early lineup of the band, and was also in Sausage, a 1994 reunion of the 1988 Primus lineup. Green Naugahyde expands on Primus incomparable sound and also sees them bringing it into the next millennium. It is a cerebral and complex album that, like all of the band s output, is teeming with the band s signature blend of whimsy and underlying darkness. Says Claypool, If I were to look at all of our records, it seems like this is reminiscent of the early stuff. Obviously, with Jay there s a newness to it, but because he left the band right before we recorded our first record, his approach has an eerie harkening to the old Frizzle Fry days. For the past 27 years, Primus have followed in the footsteps of boundary-pushing artists like Frank Zappa and Pink Floyd to create some of the most original and inventive music in existence. Green Naugahyde is a Primus record with all of the magic and mystery that phrase entails and while no one can say for sure what the future will hold in store for the band, the most important thing is that the album exists and will inevitably hold its own in the band s impressive cannon of music.

Green Naugahyde is something of a comeback offering and the first release to feature original drummer Jay Lane. It's fair to say that if you like Primus, you will like this album. Fans of the band know what to expect and the music on offer does not deviate from the tried and trusted Primus formula.
The album loses marks for covering old ground in places. Indeed 'Hennepin Crawler' is reminiscent of Nature Boy from Pork Soda. 'Last Salmon Man' owes more than a little to Fisticuffs from the Brown Album and 'Tragedy's A'comin' is a reworking of 'Ballad of Bodacious' from Antipop. It's no less enjoyable hearing them joyfully hammer out these songs, but more new ideas would have been welcome.
However there are some new classics here. 'Jilly's on Smack' is an excellent track, particularly for Les Claypool's percussive bowing in the breakdown. 'Lee Van Cleef' is destined to become something of a live favourite. If you are a fan of the band, you owe it to yourself to get hold of these songs.
You don't need me to tell you that Les Claypool is an exceptional bass player. He provides consistently entertaining listening, and we can forgive him for revisiting old ground, simply because he's just so good. Jay Lane fills the gap left by Tim 'Herb' Alexander with great skill. Larry Lalonde decorates everything in his own tactful way. There's some nice lead guitar on 'Last Salmon man'.
With a few too many fillers, Green Naugahyde may not be in the same league as Frizzle Fry or Sailing the Seas of Cheese, but this does not damage it's standing as a very entertaining record.
I have a feeling this CD will be played often and loudly, much to the dismay of my long suffering wife.

Brilliant new album from primus, canadian psychedelic rock trio. Weird and wonderful tracks - my favourite traqedy's a'comin' with a very funky bass and great vocals. Primus fans will enjoy it, i'd compare it to the Brown album.
Format:MP3 Download
This album has a more commercial feel than recent Primus offerings. Being a fan for a long long time, it reminds me of the Punchbowl album with a bit of brown. Jay Lanes drumming compliments Les's playing ...spot on and Larry is still very underated and still overlooked. There's not much new in here but the tracks still excite me and thumbs up to the guys for still standing out in their own genre after all these years.
