Royal Trux, American underground’s jagged little pill, don’t make nice. They make music that’s undefinable, unparalleled and unwittingly beautiful. If you listen carefully, you can just pick out the jazz notes, sloppy blues, trashy jams, Aerosmith riffs and miscellaneous avant noise, each lovingly put together to bring you to your senses. The band may be no more, but its spirit comes close to immortality. This track, for one, is excellent.
