Product Details

Les Claypool has always operated on a frequency all his own, and *Tales from the Punchbowl* finds Primus at their most elastic and unhinged, threading funk-metal grooves through deeply weird storytelling. Sandwiched between the commercial breakthrough of *Pork Soda* and the sprawling *Brown Album*, this 1995 release captures the trio pushing their signature bass-forward assault into increasingly surrealist territory, with Claypool's slap technique and Larry LaLonde's off-kilter guitar work as beautifully mismatched as ever.
