(Indie, Shoegaze, Punk) Titus Andronicus - Local Business - 2012, MP3, 320 kbps

Titus Andronicus have announced their follow up to 2010′s excellent The Monitor. The album is titled Local Business, an apt title to match frontman Patrick Stickles’ outspoken dedication to DIY, and will be out October 23 via XL Recordings.
Album was recorded this spring in upstate New York, and deals with the “inherent meaninglessness of life” and how it empowers individuals to “create their own values and morality,” according to a press release. It features Owen Pallett on violin, Steven Harm on harmonica, and Elio DeLuca on keys.
The record follows last year’s departures of guitarist Amy Klein and bassist Ian Graetzer. That’s the current lineup, above: guitarist Liam Betson, drummer Eric Harm, frontman Patrick Stickles, guitarist Adam Reich, bassist Julian Veronesi.
