Willfully primitive noise rock project from guitarist Neil Hagerty and producer/singer Jennifer Herrema.

Noisier and harsher than the group's debut, Twin Infinitives is a polarizing record -- you either understand Royal Trux's primal, atonal deconstructions of rock & roll, or you think it's unlistenable noise. Either way, Twin Infinitives is noteworthy for stretching the amateurish trash-rock of Royal Trux to the extreme, creating a defiantly noisy and abrasive assault of gutted riffs, screams, tinny synthesizers and melodic fragments.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the definitive underground rock acts of the '90s and early 2000s, Royal Trux pioneered an effortless -- yet unpredictable -- mix of punk, noise, metal, jazz, Southern rock, and more on albums that spanned the abrasive experiments of 1990's Twin Infinitives to the subversive boogie rock of 2000's Pound for Pound.

Charismatic vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jennifer Herrema and inventive guitarist Neil Hagerty met in the Washington, D.C. area while they were still teenagers and formed Royal Trux after moving to New York City, where Hagerty was also playing with Pussy Galore. Using blues progressions -- as well as the work of Lou Reed, Television, and the Godz -- as a foundation for their experiments, the duo's first recordings included "Fix-It," a track on Pussy Galore's 1987 album Right Now, and "Luminous Dolphin" and "Cut You Loose," which appeared on a 1988 ROIR cassette compilation.

That year, the band self-released its eponymous debut album, and soon signed to Drag City and Domino. After a move to San Francisco, the duo released the experimental double album Twin Infinitives in 1990.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
