Twin Infinitives is the second album by Royal Trux. It was released as a double LP in 1990 by Drag City, then reissued on CD and cassette in 1994.
The album is noted for its deconstructed arrangements, unorthodox vocals and overall dense production, all extremes rarely visited to such degrees on other Royal Trux releases. Twin Infinitives is also noteworthy as the first full-length album released under Chicago independent label Drag City.
