AgriDustrial is the seventh studio album by American rock band Legendary Shack Shakers. Released on April 13, 2010,[1] the album was the only release by the band to feature guitarist Duane Denison as part of the band's line-up.

Composition

In 2008 Duane Denison joined the Legendary Shack Shakers, and the band shifted their sound, with Wilkes calling this new sound "agridustrial", explaining that it is "kind of chunky industrial patterns, but give it kind of a rustic feel [...] like the sounds of farm implements, that clanking cacophony of rural industry. Kind of like how Johnny Cash used a train rhythm."[2] Chad Radford of Creative Loafing described Agri-Dustrial as "an album that mashes the rhythmic industrial plod of farmland industry with wide-eyed rock and roll".

Reception

Chad Radford of Creative Loafing said that "distorted percussion and layers of ambient noise [...] make Agri Dustrial a masterpiece of experimental music."[3]
