Green Naugahyde
Encyclopedia
Green Naugahyde is the seventh studio album by alternative rock
group Primus
, released by ATO Records
and Prawn Song
on September 12, 2011 in Europe, and on September 13, 2011 in the United States. It marks the band's first album since 1999's Antipop
, and features their first new material since 2003's Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People
EP.
The album's title comes from the lyrics to the song "Lee Van Cleef", which describe a group of friends watching movies featuring Lee Van Cleef
and Clint Eastwood
, and driving a yellow Studebaker
with a green Naugahyde
interior.
alongside perennial bassist/vocalist Les Claypool
and guitarist Larry LaLonde
. Lane had previously been a member for a brief period in 1988 with Claypool and original guitarist Todd Huth
, and has been involved with a number of Claypool's side projects, such as The Holy Mackerel
, Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade
, and Sausage
, which was itself a reunion of the 1988 Primus lineup. Claypool has stated that "[Lane] coming back has just breathed life back into the project. We did some touring, and we decided, "Let's go make a record," because we were creating things on the road."
On August 17, the track "Tragedy's a' Comin'" was made available to stream via the Spin
magazine website, followed by "HOINFODAMAN" on September 1 via the Rolling Stone
site. On September 6, Primus released a teaser trailer
featuring audio clips from Green Naugahyde set to video footage of the "astronaut" character from the album's artwork. From September 7–12, the TV show South Park
made the entire album available for streaming to anybody who "liked" their Facebook
page, including the iTunes bonus live track "Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers".
, Primus' 1990 debut studio album, due largely to Lane's involvement. "If I were to look at all of our records, it seems like this is reminiscent of the early stuff. Obviously, with Jay there’s a newness to it, but because he left the band right before we recorded our first record, his approach has an eerie harkening to the old Frizzle Fry days.” "[It's] almost like Frizzle Fry-era Primus. But we also go off into some dark, moody stuff, and there are a lot of textures to it." "Jay Lane was the guy that wrote most of those drums parts on those early records. Having his view and vibe back into it and having Ler (LaLonde) bringing a lot of stuff to the table this time, there’s definitely a lot of continuity to the record."
Claypool has also stated that Lane has made the band "funkier" than they previously had been. "He’s got the best groove of anybody I’ve played with. He’s funky as all hell, yet he’s got a very signature sound. It’s exciting." "I was embarrassed for many years when people would call Primus a funk band... We were never funky. We're funky now. With Jaysky in the band, I feel that we're way funkier than we ever were... So on songs like "Tragedy" and "Lee Van Cleef", I have no problem saying we're funky, because Jaysky's the funkiest guy I've ever played with – and I've played with some very funky dudes!"
In his review for Allmusic, Gregory Heaney commends the band for continually being "able to push the envelope creatively", describing the new material as "both technically dazzling and perfectly irreverent." He also notes how Lane's return has affected the band's sound, saying that "the album feels like Primus are getting back to basics... evoking the directness of Frizzle Fry... recapturing the magic of those earlier albums", and concludes that Green Naugahyde "will satisfy those in the know while continuing, as Primus always have, to baffle the uninitiated."
Blare Magazine
s Dan Rankin describes the album as "the sonic equivalent of being approached on a dark street by a strange panhandler beckoning you down a dark alley", noting that "it’s just the sort of feeling that Primus fans seek out... and precisely the kind of thing most non-fans would prefer to do without, thank you very much."
Scott McLennan, for The Boston Globe
, describes the album as having "all of the absurd contours and whimsical tones one expects" from a Primus record, though "overall, the writing is richer", and "the band’s twisted humor keeps things provocative."
Consequence of Sound
reviewer David Buchanan describes the new material as both "funky nightmare rock" and "bouncy grooves direct from Wonka
’s boat ride." He notes that "Green Naugahyde couldn’t be exclusively classified as a new page in the band’s history, because there is so much of the past scrambled in, deliberately or otherwise", concluding that "much like Primus’ musical territory, we have yet another gray area that defies the laws of tradition, which instead of reinventing the wheel gives it a fresh coat of paint."
IGN
's Chad Grischow describes the album as "sharply written social commentary" wrapped up in "the band's dark, bass-heavy brand of sonic strange." He sums up by saying that "there is nothing quite like Primus, and the first new album in over a decade reminds you what a gaping hole they create in the rock landscape when they are missing."
In his review for Now
, Benjamin Boles notes that "“Wacky” isn’t supposed to be a good thing any more, but being unfashionable has never stopped bass guitar abuser Les Claypool before, and that’s exactly why Green Naugahyde works." He concludes by describing the album as "a great introduction for new ears and a satisfying addition to the catalogue for long-time fans."
Reviewing the album for Paste
, Ryan Carey describes Green Naugahyde as "a thoroughly enjoyable Primus album", noting that it is "perhaps the first Primus album to avoid settling into a sub-genre, but rather taking from all the styles in Primus’ back catalog... resulting in a significantly more solid album than many of their efforts", although "the flip-side to this buffet approach is that it’s their first disc in a long while which doesn’t have that one or two tracks which simply annihilate your entire notion of what music can be."
For PopMatters
, Chris Conaton describes the album as sounding "pretty much exactly like what you’d expect a Primus album to sound like... Green Naugahyde is a perfectly serviceable Primus record", noting that the album "relies a little too much on the band’s past material for inspiration, but with Lane on the drums, the songs have a lot of drive to them and Claypool and LaLonde are clearly having fun."
Bill Murphy, for Relix
, notes that "for the first third of the album, [LaLonde] and [Lane] just seem to be warming up", but that the overall album is "as accessible as it is willfully in-your-face, this is vintage Primus."
David Fricke
's review for Rolling Stone
sees him describe Green Naugahyde as "more a series of creepy pranks than a set of tunes", but notes that the band themselves are "a tight knotty rhythm team".
The Skinny
s David Bowes describes the album as "a surprisingly consistent and rewarding listen", noting that "there’s little here that wouldn’t work in the context of some freakish nightmare concoted by celebrated hoaxer P.T. Barnum."
Christopher R. Weingarten, for Spin
, describes the album as "all rubbery... missing practically everything that made them unlikely belles of the Headbangers Ball
: the maddening 11/4 prog mutations, the heavy-metal muscle, the dissonant oddball skronk." He attributes this to a lack of LaLonde's usual "atonal death-Zappa
theatrics", noting that Claypool and Lane "ensure that the band's goony cartoon-octopus funk abounds."
USA Today
reviewer Brian Mansfield predicts that fans of Primus will appreciate the album, noting that the "slap-funk grooves hark back to the band's 1990 debut, Frizzle Fry", but concedes that "those who don't appreciate [Claypool]'s complex chops and whimsy may find Green Naugahyde nearly unlistenable."

Promotion
In interviews conducted in March and April 2011, Primus gave the album an estimated street date of May. In May, Claypool revealed that the album was complete and had been named Green Naugahyde, and though the band had been "shooting for June", they chose to push it back to July to avoid conflict with the holiday season.

Critical reception
Green Naugahyde has received generally positive, if somewhat mixed reviews. Many critics agree that the new material is reminiscent of Primus' earlier albums such as Frizzle Fry, with many of the new songs being said to directly evoke some of the band's previous work. Another common assertion is that, while the album is likely to appeal to Primus fans, it may be inaccessible to a casual audience.In his review for Allmusic, Gregory Heaney commends the band for continually being "able to push the envelope creatively", describing the new material as "both technically dazzling and perfectly irreverent." He also notes how Lane's return has affected the band's sound, saying that "the album feels like Primus are getting back to basics... evoking the directness of Frizzle Fry... recapturing the magic of those earlier albums", and concludes that Green Naugahyde "will satisfy those in the know while continuing, as Primus always have, to baffle the uninitiated."
