Released in 1992, Untitled marked Royal Trux's third album and solidified their status as pioneers of the lo-fi genre. This album transitioned the duo, Neil Hagerty and Jennifer Herrema, into a constantly evolving collective of musicians. As part of Fire Records' remastered series, Untitled comes pressed on white vinyl with updated monochrome and silver artwork. Stepping away from the dense layering of their previous work, Twin Infinitives, Royal Trux embraced a raw rock 'n' roll aesthetic filled with the deformed grandeur of their influences. Drawing from their experiences and subconscious "radio stations," the eight-song collection weaves together twisted melodies and memories. Hagerty's gritty blues roots complement Herrema's seductive yet snarling vocals, capturing a sense of intimacy akin to a night at the Chelsea Hotel, where the characters of the 90s swagger through their lyrics. Tracks like 'Junkie Nurse' delve into themes of addiction and redemption, reflecting a hope that even the most broken individuals can help each other. While some noise elements persist, Untitled showcases a clear shift toward songwriting, revealing Royal Trux as a stunning indie rock band that continues to resonate with a transgressive generation and influences future duos like The White Stripes and The Kills.
