The long awaited new album by everyone's favorite pants-less
goof punks - it took nearly a year to complete, and was recorded
everywhere from Minneapolis to Portland, in houses, warehouses,
parks, and even in the preschool classroom where Rob Taxpayer
teaches (elementary school pianos have a special sound, ya know?).
It continues in the Taxpayers' tradition of...well, not following
any tradition, what the Free Music Archive calls their "Beck-like
license to strip two vast histories of sound down to their barest
essentials, and mix them back together into super-catchy,
genre-bending anthems about failed revolutions and lives well
wasted". This album's got bluegrass, ragtime, swing, 80's hardcore,
blues, and even a little Springsteen-esque nostalgia.
And hey, Useless State decided to keep things interesting by
releasing it as a limited edition zine, complete with essays, song
explanations, science experiments, and more. Get this shit while
it's still available!
