Royal Trux return with throaty new single "Year of the Dog"
Royal Trux wave goodbye to 2018 with "Year of the Dog" another grungy cut from their first album in nearly 20 years, White Stuff.
"Year of the Dog" is the fourth single to be released from the record, after last month's title-track "White Stuff", and 2018 singles "Get Used to This" and "Every Day Swan".
The new single marks the Chinese New Year, which is celebrated on 5 February. 2018 marked the Year of the Dog in the Chinese zodiac.
White Stuff is the duo's first record of new material since 2000's Pound for Pound.
Expanding on their return, moog, guitar, and melodica player Jennifer Herrema explains, "It's funny how the outside world perceives or feels compelled to parse complicated relationships and dynamics...Usually it's an all or nothing game. This next chapter is just another perfectly aligned bit of kismet. No concerted effort to force anything forward or to create something with an eye on the past. Only an awareness that the present had come calling with a gift to assist the future future of Royal Trux. The true believers that were once strangers found their way into our universe because everybody was ready for it and it simply, as if on cosmic cue, came to be."
