After a series of successful collaboration with Arts & Crafts, Matador, Jade Tree, and more independent labels, FUCKED UP are taking one stape further with this new deal. Their latest edition of the Zodiac themed records will be released on June 16th via Deathwish Inc., whose owner Jacob Bannon (CONVERGE) has prepared an amazing artwork for this record. Over a two year period, it was recorded and constructed at Electrical Audio, Key Club Studios, and Candle Studios. Title track “Year of the Hare” is a 21 minute epic that frantically mixes traditional instrumentation, piano/synths, flutes and sax, experimental editing/soundscapes, and guest vocals from great Isla Craig into one dizzying experience. While B-Side “California Cold” slowly builds and deconstructs over an 8 and a half minute stretch. Organically shifting from jangly melodic-punk anthem into a fuzzed out psychedelic jam session. Eclectically blending musical styles and voices in the most, well, FUCKED UP way possible.
Fucked Up are one of the most prolific hardcore punk bands of our generation. Since their 2001 inception, they’ve challenged listeners with thoughtful artful chaos and a seemingly limitless drive for musical experimentation. Because of this, they’ve also become a record collectors worst nightmare; releasing over 80 recordings and collaborations on countless labels that include Arts & Crafts, Matador, Jade Tree, and more.
Track Listing:
01. Year of the Hare (21:38)
