The creative universe of Mud Spencer is expanding! Known for crafting immersive low-tempo soundscapes influenced by late ‘60s and early ‘70s rock, visionary musician Rodolphe, the mastermind behind Mud Spencer, has announced the birth of a thrilling parallel project: Trance Bill. This new endeavor dives into the raw, untamed realms of psych-garage punk, offering a fresh, high-energy contrast to Mud Spencer’s signature sound. Trance Bill marks an evolution in Rodolphe’s musical journey, embracing bold experimentation while staying true to his DIY ethos. This exciting announcement is paired with another milestone: Trance Bill has officially signed with Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records, marking a bold new chapter in Rodolphe’s musical evolution. To celebrate the news, Trance Bill has released "Booze Explosion," a fiery new track that perfectly encapsulates the project’s raw energy and unfiltered attitude: https://youtu.be/DrqBHM3XSC4 Mud Spencer’s story began in 2017 under the name Chiefing Cloves, when Rodolphe and drummer Eddie recorded the album Left Empty in just four days. Following Eddie’s return to Texas, Rodolphe embraced a hands-on, self-reliant approach, giving birth to Mud Spencer—a one-man show where he plays every instrument, including guitars, drums, organ, and effects. His debut album, Fuzz Soup, was released in 2022 by Argonauta Records, earning widespread acclaim for its immersive soundscapes and DIY spirit. The second full-length album, Kliwon, mastered by Monolord’s Esben Willems, solidified Mud Spencer’s reputation for boundary-pushing creativity. With its rich, psychedelic textures and riffs that draw comparisons to My Sleeping Karma, Spiritual Beggars, Clutch, Los Natas, and more, Kliwon continues to resonate with fans of instrumental stoner rock and beyond. Now, with Trance Bill, Rodolphe dives headfirst into the rebellious, frenetic world of psych-garage punk, bringing a fresh, fiery energy to his growing catalog. The project captures the raw essence of punk while maintaining the exploratory spirit that defines his work. Trance Bill’s signing to Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records aligns with the label’s commitment to supporting groundbreaking artists in heavy and experimental music. This partnership sets the stage for a dynamic year ahead, with new music in the works. Stay tuned as Mud Spencer and Trance Bill redefine the boundaries of stoner rock and garage punk!
