Platinum Tips + Ice Cream is the first release from Royal Trux in 17 years, culled from two live sets recently recorded in New York and Los Angeles. It is raw, unpolished and, according to the band, “unrehearsed,” with songs that span the band’s catalog and deep cuts. It’s not easy to return with (or recommend) a live rock ‘n’ roll record, but dammit, Platinum Tips is a hurling gut-punch of a document. Hagerty’s guitar fuzz is thick and gelatinous, a blood-soaked ooze crusting at the edges, as Herrema howls, growls and gurgles in her own time signature. They’re joined by bassist Brian McKinley and drummer Tim Barnes (The Tower Recordings, Text Of Light), both of whom have had run-ins with post-Royal Trux projects. – Lars Gotrich of NPR
