Absolutely one of the best recent albums out there. For me, these lyrics are filled with nostalgia and angst– I feel that anyone can relate to them in one way or another. Jeff caught everyone’s ear with We Cool?, blew everyone’s mind with Worry., and now he’s making us all look inward and think about what it really means to be a country with Post.
Jeff Rosenstock was an anxious kid who grew into an anxious adult and has also made a bunch of music along the way with a bunch of bands, most notably Bomb the Music Industry! who apparently pioneered giving shit away for free on the internet – or at least got some of the credit for it.
Now he plays with his bi-coastal band of rad musicians, mixing punk heart with diverse instrumentation and occasional accuracy.
The new record POST– was written in a snowy mountain dreamscape, recorded in a marathon session and finished moments before it was released on New Year’s Day. Most of it (like totally 51% minimum) was recorded live to tape, making the record a fiery distillation of Rosenstock’s high energy live shows that push the boundaries of dynamics in rock music.
Been looking forward to this for a while, we’re Finally Coming back to Europe!! And even better we’re bringing our good buddy CHRIS FARREN!! Tickets are on sale FRIDAY at jeffrosenstock.com so set your calendar alarm alert I don’t know how you people do things.
