The seminal avant-garde noise-rock group Royal Trux is the project of Jennifer Herrema and former Pussy Galore member Neil Hagerty. The most experimental and fractured album of its career, 1990's TWIN INFINITIVES epitomises the duo's early lo-fi aesthetic (the band would later grow to incorporate elements of '70s hard rock and somewhat more traditional song structures). Drawing on the influence of Sonic Youth, sound conceptualist composers, and WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT-era Velvet Underground, Royal Trux builds a swirling cacophony here of distorted guitar riffs, squiggly synthesizer lines, and spoken-word performances to truly unsettling aural effect.
At only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerising web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. For all of its high-brow allusions, TWIN INFINITIVES nearly reeks of vice; a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery. This aura is part of the music's charm, however; and the album invites us on its primal journey through a seedy sonic nightmare.|
