Listen to Primus’ “Golden Ticket” from Primus & The Chocolate Factory, Out 10/21

SPIN just premiered the latest track from Primus’ upcoming album Primus & The Chocolate Factory, the band’s dark, strange interpretation of the classic “Golden Ticket” from the 1971 Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory film.

SPIN says, “Heard below, that memorable cut from the film is reborn with help from bounding bass, chiming vibes, Claypool’s deep warble, and a handful of eerie effects — taken all together, this is the aural march of a demented carnival barker leading a band of skeletons wielding toy instruments. Our conductor and colonel’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade pitch in on the album too (credited as the Fungi Ensemble), making for a robust bunch of tried and true rock experimentalists, playing in service of a canonical slab of cinematic psychedelia.”

Listen to the track below, and check out their tour dates, including recently added shows on the West Coast. Tickets are available at http://primusville.com/tickets/.
