Review

You never know which Royal Trux you're going to get--and often you get different versions of the band on the same record. Subject to the whims of its two mercurial creators, Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema, RT can either deliver boogie-laden hard-rock guitar workouts or spacy half-finished jams that force the listener to fill in the blanks. Currently a five-piece, they create hard rock much as you might expect a band raised on Neil Young's Crazy Horse and Big Black. The rhythms sway with a hypnotic and lazy gait, the guitars alternate between sweet, bluesy licks and psychotic shocks of distorted overload. No one can sing, but they can all rasp with the reckless abandon of an old blues shouter or anonymous garage-rock screamer. "Deep Country Sorcerer" accesses a free-jazz vibe by its conclusion. "Sunshine and Grease" sounds like an old-time R&B tune being massacred by a punk rock band. There is little middle ground for Royal Trux. You either love their irreverence or wonder what bizarre planet you've accidentally stumbled upon. --Rob O'Connor
