The second track of Conspiranoid, Follow The Fool, follows the theme of the EP's title track, and forced its way into sets during the second Tribute To Kings tour run in 2022. Matt Hunter guests to model the bass parts, and turns the envelope filter up to Eleven.

Conspiranoia was borne of the band's prog shift, starting in 2017 and continuing with the Tribute To Kings tours, in which the band played Rush every night. Seems appropriate that they'd want to create their own epic, and this is the result of those efforts - a jammy, proggy suite complete numerous firsts for the band, and lyrics sure to piss off the right people. Put on your tinfoil hats as we dig into the 2022 edition of Primus!

Jason McHugh partnered with Matt Stone & Trey Parker for Cannibal: The Musical, South Park, and Orgazmo, but he also produced Les Claypool's Electric Apricot film and has assisted the band on tour. We char with him about all of these experiences, and how Electric Apricot was a full-circle moment for him. Check out Jason's work @jasonmchugh2 on Instagram.

Is it truly The Ends? For The Desaturating Seven, yes. For Primus Tracks, not even close. We round out the 2017 Primus release with a brief discussion of the album's cyclical nature, the connections to the source text, and the extensive DS7 tour. Plus, it's Halloween, so why not inspect some Primus Halloween history?

Although some diehards derided this track upon album release, Josh and Frankie find the charms of The Dream via the connection to the original material in Ul de Rico's book, and the nature of dreams. Besides, the reward at the end is worth it!

Lespecial bassist Luke Bemand returns to explain the underpinnings of this track, in which there are few, if any rests for the bass. It's a driving rainbow bass tune that requires special investigation. Plus, we talk about the "lollipop" guitar by Larry LaLonde and lyrics that, while based on a book, make oblique commentary to contemporary events.

We hold The Trek in the highest esteem for its individual elements, and how they coalesce into a truly epic track. Our renowned guest, Kello Gonzalez, brings his own Carl Thompson rainbow bass(!) and helps us with the instrumentation and what makes this a latter-day classic.

The ostensible title track of the album, The Seven packs a punch with its changing time signatures and bass & guitar techniques. First-time guest Lalo Fierro (and son!) join us to discuss their Primus experiences, as well as Lalo's interpretations of The Seven. Live cuts, a cover, and lots of laughter in this one. No idea why we're so giddy.

We move into a new Primus record cycle and recap all of the hints the band dropped in early 2017 as to what was to come; the final product being The Desaturating Seven. By modern standards a short album, we discuss the initial mixed reception to the record's concept and execution, and how crowds were won over by live performances. We dig into the promotions for the album and the parallels in record and book design, as this record takes inspiration from Ul de Rico's book The Rainbow Goblins. If you haven't read the book, find it!
