Royal Trux ‘Accelerator’ (reissue) Available October 9 on Drag City
Royal Trux’s 1998 Accelerator created an ass-kicking music machine that still confronts today with its dialed-out production values rendering tunes of glittering platinum hooks and colored by numbers with hooligan-outfitted choruses.
Either you were all grown up at the age of twelve or you’re thirty and still a child. Whatever the case may be, this rock n roll brew has been concocted for your pre- and post-adolescent thirst. On Accelerator, Royal Trux roil out a crimson tide for your strain to walk upon. If you’ve got the guts to work underground, the silver and gold of guitars, drums, and vocal-hicular shrieks are here to be extracted for your profit. If you ever wondered: Could I walk on the water? if not a day passes without a stray hip-shake, or the looming prospect of a strut on the horizon, well, darling, they’ve saved this last tangle for you.
