Die Vorfreude steigt und mittlerweile ist auf der Homepage zum Album ein neuer Track zu hören: “A Little Death“.
Ausserdem haben Fucked Up zum Record Store Day noch ein Album rausgehauen, „David’s Town“:
PitchforkOn June 7, Matador will release David Comes to Life, the new album from Toronto punk experimenters Fucked Up. The album is a full-on rock opera set in a fictional British town during the late 70s and early 80s. When frontman Damian Abraham told us about the album, he also said that the band had plans to release a few companion records, including a compilation of fictional bands from that fictional town. In its own way, that compilation seems almost as ambitious an undertaking as David Comes to Life itself: Fucked Up, alongside various guest singers, recreating all the different sounds of the punk era. The band was hoping to get the album out on Record Store Day, April 16, and it looks like they’ll actually pull it off.
In a post on their Looking For Gold blog, the band announces plans for the release of the fake comp David’s Town, which collects the work of 11 fake bands from the fake town of Byrdesdale Spa: „We decided instead of recording any new music, why don’t we just release this compilation album from 1977 we’d been sitting on since from before we were all born? We found like 750 copies of this great comp so we’re gonna just use that.“ That seems to imply that David’s Town will be limited to 750 copies, so show up at your local independent record store bright and early.
Laut dem Blog der Band sind es dann doch 2000 Pressungen geworden.
