Primus Conspiranoid EP (LP Vinyl)

Les Claypool has always operated at the intersection of virtuosity and social satire, and the band’s first batch of original material since 2011’s *Green Naugahyde* finds that instinct sharpened to a fine point. Primus built their following on weirdo funk-metal that never quite fit any radio format, and this three-tracker arrives with that same uncompromising spirit intact, Claypool’s slap bass as disorienting and precise as ever.

The first completely original Primus music in over a decade comes in the form of a 3 song 12″. It kicks off with 12 minute epic “Conspiranoia” exploring the absurdity and darkness bubbling up in the contemporary world – perpetuated, as frontman Les Claypool says, “by anyone with a slight hint of web design aptitude.” Claypool goes on to say: “Because all 3 songs were bred in an odd time of divide, confusion, angst, frustration, and social senility, the title ‘Conspiranoid’ seemed appropriate.”
