Double Vulgar is the second album by Thighpaulsandra. The album is notable for its packaging: the artwork consists of sexually explicit, homoerotic imagery featuring bondage and edgeplay, and was initially refused by several printers. The lyrical content was also controversial: "His Royal Highness the Prince of WalesBreaches Reality" was written as a dedication to Charles, Prince of Wales, if he were to ever have sexual relations with one of his sons, while most of the other lyrics describe several equally explicit situations. "The Bush Administration Project" notably contains the line "And I am splashed with semen", sung by Thighpaulsandra's mother, contraltoDorothy Lewis. The album expanded upon Thighpaulsandra's already extensive instrumental palette, including an autoharp, hurdy-gurdy and the rare photoelectricANS synthesizer, which allows one to synthesize sounds from artificially drawn soundwaves and images. Other non-musical instruments include a scraper, heard at the end of "Double Vulgar"; and a large wheel similar to the one found on the gameshowWheel of Fortune, found in the basement of a church, that forms the basis of "He Tastes of the Sea".
