About This Item
Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 . Great American Painting is the rare album that shines a bright light on all that's wrong in the world but somehow still channels a galvanizing sense of hope. With equal parts nuanced observation and raw outpouring of feeling, the Philadelphia-based band confront a constellation of problems eroding the American ideal (gentrification, gun violence, the crushing weight of late capitalism), ornamenting every track with their explosive yet elegant breed of indie-rock/post-punk. Threading that commentary with intense self-reflection, Great American Painting ultimately fulfills a mission The Districts first embraced upon forming as teenagers in small-town Pennsylvania an urge to create undeniably cathartic music that obliterates hopelessness and invites their audience along in dreaming up a far better future. Album Tracks 1. Revival Psalm 2. No Blood 3. Do It Over 4. White Devil 5. Long End 6. Outlaw Love 7. Hover 8. I Want to Feel It All 9. On Our Parting My Beloved
