Primus & the Chocolate Factory With the Fungi Ensemble

Primus

A dark, hallucinogenic reimagining of the Wonka soundtrack. Murky upright bass and kitchen-utensil percussion turn childhood whimsy into a gothic fever dream.

A sinister, psychedelic reimagining of childhood wonder that feels both playful and deeply unsettling.

Moments Worth Listening For
The unsettling, bowed upright bass melody that transforms Pure Imagination into a gothic lullaby.
The cacophony of frying pans and rototoms that erupts during the Semi-Wondrous Boat Ride.
Larry Lalonde taking the lead vocal on I Want It Now with a frantic, bratty energy.
