Titus Andronicus Announce New Album

Local Business Out Oct. 23

Aug 10, 2012 Titus Andronicus

Titus Andronicus have announced that they will release their third album Local Business on Oct. 23. Recorded it upstate New York it will be the band’s first effort of original material since the departure of bandmembers Amy Klein and Ian Graetzer.

According to a recently issued press release “while abandoning the linear narrative of their last album The Monitor, the songs on Local Business aim to make explicit the implications of the first two LPs, that the inherent meaninglessness of life in an absurd universe gives the individual power to create their own values and their own morality. Along the way, we witness a devastating automobile wreck, a food fight (that is to say, a battle with an eating disorder), an electrocution, a descent into insanity, and ultimately, a forgiveness of the self for its many faults. Titus Andronicus even finds time to broaden its emotional palette to include moments of pure positivity, brief respites from the usual doom and gloom.”

Having been playing a number of the record’s songs live for the past year (including “My Eating Disorder”) a nationwide U.S. tour will nevertheless commence following the record’s release. You can view the album’s full tracklisting below.
