Where Accelerator purposely compacted its arena-rock riffage into trash-canned dimensions and called attention to its production chicanery, 3-Song EP saw the Trux gearing up for its fall ’98 European tour, recruiting Drag City mascot Rian Murphy, Slint/ Tortoise guitar master David Pajo, and future Mars Volta/ Queens of the Stone Age drummer Jon Theodore to thicken up the band’s sound by several inches. But to do so would’ve been to undermine another crucial turning point in the band’s labyrinthine course. This rationale even extends to the latest- and briefest- entry in the campaign, 3-Song EP, which initially appeared just four months after their 1998 knockout Accelerator, and seemingly could’ve been tacked onto the recent re-release of that album.
