Hometown: Toronto ON CA Toronto’s Fucked Up have just finished recording their second album. It will come out on Matador worldwide on October 7. Entitled The Chemistry Of Common Life, it contains 11 tracks on the CD and 12 tracks on the double vinyl. This sprawling, multi-instrumental epic is “basically about rebirth and the Sun. And lightning,” according to guitarist 10,000 Marbles. The sound is incredibly dense, featuring 10-15 guitar tracks on many songs, along with flutes, organs, and French horn, with an elegant clarity and sense of purpose. The record picks up where 2006’s Hidden World left off, in terms of the band’s characteristic monumentality, but injects a newfound urgency and unease which the mystical lyrical concerns only amplify.Guest performers include Katie Stelmanis and the Vivian Girls on vocals, Max McCabe-Locos on organ (formerly of the Deadly Snakes, also featured on Fucked Up’s Year Of The Pig), and many others. |
