The album’s vinyl edition will also be produced in “seven-color green splatter format.” The show will consist of two sets: the first set will sift through their entire catalog, and the second will play through The Desaturating Seven in its entirety. Much like their Primus & The Chocolate Factory tour, Primus will reincarnate the book’s rainbow imagery on their upcoming tour, which will begin October 20 in San Antonio and extend through November 11 in Miami. He continues, “I would look at the artwork and read the lyrics, and it’s very difficult to sing about goblins and rainbows and not have it come off being a little cornball…So I was tiptoeing the line of not necessarily being literal, but referring to elements of the story and using it more as a metaphor, when I could.” So we did the Willy Wonka soundtrack a couple years back, and this was a project I wanted to do.” “As I’m getting older, I’m realizing I need to start knocking some of these things off my list.
“I remember being incredibly impressed with the artwork and the storyline and the content and the message, and I thought, ‘Wow, this would make a great piece of music,'” Claypool tells Rolling Stone.
The book’s “vibrant and intense and eerie and somewhat creepy” artwork impressed bassist and frontman Les Claypool (while reading it to his children) to the point of making it into music. The inspiration for The Desaturating Seven comes from a 1978 children’s book, The Rainbow Goblins. The new record marks the first since the band’s 2014 Primus & The Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble, the first original material since 2011’s Green Naugahyde, and their ninth LP together.
Currently on tour, with a recent collaboration with Dean Ween in Asbury Park over the weekend, Primus has announced a new album The Desaturating Seven, due out September 29th via ATO Records, along with Fall tour dates to support.
