Primus - A Handful of Nuggs EP (2026) [Hi-Res]

"A Handful of Nuggs" is a wild, eccentric journey into the heart of Alternative Metal, Funk-Rock, and Avant-Prog. This 2026 EP finds Primus returning to their leanest and most experimental power-trio roots. Les Claypool’s legendary bass-slapping technique remains the driving force, but here it’s treated with a raw, distorted edge that feels refreshingly aggressive.

The tracks on this EP are tight, rhythmic puzzles. Larry "Ler" LaLonde’s dissonant, jazz-influenced guitar work cuts through the mix like a rusty saw, while Tim "Herb" Alexander delivers a drum performance that is as much about complex geometry as it is about power. It’s a record that embraces the weird—filled with quirky storytelling, cartoonish vocal delivery, and instrumental interplay that defies standard rock conventions. It’s "Nuggets" of pure Primus: concentrated, odd, and brilliantly executed. gemini ai
