Record is brand new and has never been played.
Deluxe edition contains second LP with "slow version" of the album, an alternate mix with half-time drums plus alternate front and back cover! In contrast to the sprawling epic of their last album, the punk rock opera David Comes to Life, the new album returns to rock’n’roll basics, verse-chorus-verse-chorus. It also features guitar solos, mellotron and piano. Recorded for the first time in analogue, with Bill Skibbe (The Dead Weather, The Kills, Lower Dens, Andre Williams), the album is bathed in a warm, almost romantic glow. In particular, Jonah Falco’s virtuosic drumming shines forth, each snare hit shattering the air. Damian Abraham’s throaty growl is not less punk, but the overall effect is a more human, relatable Fucked Up.
The lyrics mostly address the puzzle of being in a punk rock band while having children and being in their early 30s. “So this is what it’d be like? Everything bathed in a harsh bright light? Why is the impact so immense? Maybe I know it could have been me instead.”
