Bob Mould has produced the new Titus Andronicus An Obelisk.
Their sixth studio LP will be one of the more concise ones of the band’s career; clocking in at 38 minutes, it was recorded briskly too at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio studio in Chicago and is due for release on June 21st.
“The ideology of ‘punk’ supports the elevation of our own interior authority and the degradation of exterior authority, which we recognise to be arbitrary, a tool by which the many are subjugated under the few,” Patrick Stickles explains. “While the common ‘punk rocker’ will take this as license to piss on the street and generally pursue a lifestyle of nihilistic hedonism, the true ‘punk’ will recognise the price of this freedom.
“An Obelisk tells the story of one particular individual, someone maybe a lot like you but certainly a lot like me, scouring linty pockets, trying to pay that bill.”
