stream: Titus Andronicus Make Punk Out of Tragedy
I never want to go to New Jersey, or even pass through it. If my ears tell me right, everyone from there is so pinned down by middling working class minutiae that they have to pick up guitars and write songs about it. The unquestionable highlight of New Jersey’s natives Titus Andronicus’s eponymous album cut is the finale where they’ve become so overwhelmed by frustration that they can’t think of more lyrics and keep repeating “Your life is over,” ensuring once and for all that no one will ever mistake New Jersey for the sunshine state. Titus Andronicus is re-releasing their first full-length, The Airing of Grievances Jan. 20 on XL Recordings. If you want to feel some of this tragipunk in person, then you can catch Titus Andronicus on their winter tour with Los Campesinos. Dates below.
