Titus Andronicus have announced their new album.
‘An Obelisk’ is the sixth record from the New Jersey natives, and is due for release on June 21. It sees production from the legendary Bob Mould and follows up 'A Productive Cough', which dropped in 2018.
To accompany the news, Titus Andronicus have shared the LP’s first cut, (I Blame) Society. It’s a fast, simple rock track that lands somewhere between the old-school punk of the Sex Pistols and more melodic modern-day pop-punk. Singer and songwriter Patrick Stickles explained:
“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. 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.”
‘An Obelisk’ tracklist:
1. Just Like Ringing A Bell
2. Troubleman Unlimited
3. (I Blame) Society
4. My Body And Me
5. Hey Ma
6. Beneath The Boot
7. On The Street
8. Within The Gravitron
9. The Lion Inside
10. Tumult Around The World
