"Roald Dahl’s magical world is turned into a twisted, demented nightmare."

More Primus More Primus

Primus might be the only band in existence who could release a reimagined soundtrack to Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, and no one would ask why.

When it comes to Primus, the more appropriate question is ‘Why has it taken so long?’  Like the return of drummer ‘Herb’ Alexander for his first long-player with the band in almost 20 years, this album is probably of interest to fans only. But for those fans, it’s Les, Ler and Herb at their sublime weirdest.

Roald Dahl’s magical world is turned into a twisted, demented nightmare. And it’s never seemed more inviting.
