The album was completely written and recorded by Tanner in both Georgia at Harvey Milk’s vocalist and guitarist Creston Spiers’ house and in his Brooklyn apartment. Tanner continues on with the musical touchstones of Harvey Milk (Melvins, Gore, Earth, ZZ Top, Kiss and Judas Priest) while forging ahead into a strange and, at times, harrowing, unknown. Tanner’s life, from birth until now, is the theme of the album. The first song, ‘91771’, is his birthdate and the second one, ‘Premature Caesarean Removal Delivery’ is about being cut out of his mother three weeks prematurely, an act he attributes to most of his problems. He takes to heart the words his father told him at a young age: “You think life sucks now, just wait.” It’s a dirgey sludge with solid boogie moments and ‘Fade To Black’ melancholy. Tanner calls it depressing but the album hits far more notes than that. It’s slow and heavy but it moves, and there’s an expansiveness that picks up steam, a vastness akin to soundtracks. It has a cinematic quality that reveals the influences of John Carpenter and Ennio Morricone, albeit different in musicality. ‘Things Haven’t Gone Well’ features drumming from Kyle Spence (Harvey Milk, Kurt Vile band). Deluxe double LP pressed on virgin vinyl and packaged in an uncoated stock gatefold jacket with free download coupon. Initial vinyl copies are pressed on ‘sh*t brown’ coloured vinyl, with the remaining copies on black. “Stephen Tanner is a true Renaissance man” – The Village Voice “It’s a bummed-out coherence: 40 minutes of slow, thick miasma, with recurring, descending melodic phrases tying it all together.” – New York Times (on Harvey Milk) “It’s a grim journey, and often creepy as hell, but it’s by no means depressing. Mediocre music is depressing. This stuff is exhilarating.” – PopMatters (on Harvey Milk) Artist Music Blues Genre Rock And Pop Label Thrill Jockey Buying Options 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Includes Download Code Format 2LP , Gatefold Sleeve , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings 91771 Premature Caesarean Removal Delivery Teach The Children Hopelessness And Worthlessness Trying And Giving Up Great Depression Failure Death March It’s Not Going To Get Better Tremendous Misery Sets In The Price Is Wrong Bonus Track Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Friedberg Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Rock And Pop | Marathon Artists | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 9th April 2021 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Friedberg Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Marathon Artists SKU: MA0292V Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ritual Howls Turkish Leather Rock And Pop | 1LP Released 29th September 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ritual Howls Turkish Leather £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop SKU: FLT017LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Orlando Weeks A Quickening Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th June 2020 £18.00 - £28.00 Select options Orlando Weeks A Quickening £18.00 - £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th June 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Tangerine Dream Ricochet (live) Krautrock | Virgin Records | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 5th July 2012 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tangerine Dream Ricochet (live) £18.00 Genre: Krautrock Label: Virgin Records SKU: VR2044 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 5th July 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lemon Twigs, The Songs For The General Public Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP Released 21st August 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lemon Twigs, The Songs For The General Public £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD Released Date: 21st August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yusuf Islam Roadsinger(To Warm You Through The Night) Rock And Pop | Island | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 5th June 2009 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yusuf Islam Roadsinger(To Warm You Through The Night) £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 2706317 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 5th June 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tony Lucca Canyon Songs Rock And Pop | Rock Ridge Music | 1LP Released 18th November 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tony Lucca Canyon Songs £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rock Ridge Music SKU: 0677516145510 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Beverly Glenn-Copeland Beverly Glenn-Copeland Rock And Pop | Transgressive | 1LP Released 7th July 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Beverly Glenn-Copeland Beverly Glenn-Copeland £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Transgressive SKU: TRANS465X Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Electronic Electronic Rock And Pop | Warner Music | 180g, 1LP Released 24th January 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Electronic Electronic £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Music SKU: 0190295381868 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Desperate Journalist Maximum Sorrow!
