Titus Andronicus Announce New Album

cj mckinney — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:21:38 +0000

Angsty indie-rockers Titus Andronicus have announced the release of their next full length set to take place March 9th, via XL. Frontman Patrick Stickles had this to say about the bands forthcoing full-length The Monitor

“It doesn’t take place in olden times, nor does it necessarily feature any characters that participated in that conflict. Really, it is a record about how the conflicts that led our nation into that great calamity remain unresolved, and the effect that this ongoing division has on our personal relationships and our behavior and how they’re all out to get us (or maybe not?) and yadda yadda yadda.”

The Monitor will feature a healthy cameo selection from the likes Ponytail, Wye Oak, Vivian Girls, and the Hold Steady. Get at the album’s single below

01. A More Perfect Union
02. Titus Andronicus Forever

Introducing: Titus Andronicus

If the now inactive band Desaparecidos were ever to make another album, this is what it would sound like. Hailing from New Jersey, Titus Andronicus are a 5 piece band fresh off the release of their debut album, The Airing of Grievances. TAOG mixes furious rock n roll with tendencies that juxtapose blistering punk rock and mellowed shoe-gaze. Andrew Cedermark, whom takes on vocal duties for the band, has a distinct shriek that mimics an edgier and harsher sounding Conor Oberst. His vocals range from possessed shouting to paranoid whispers throughout which is one of the main aspects that makes this album so enjoyable. Check out my favorite track off the album below
