We Can Do Anything Violent Femmes SKU: PIASR420LP Barcode: 5414939935589 19.00 £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: PIAS Released Date: 4th March 2016 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Violent Femmes’ ninth studio album and first full length collection in more than 15 years, ‘We Can Do Anything’ is among the most provocative and playful in the legendary trio’s remarkable canon. As the album’s title makes plain, the band – singer / songwriter / guitarist Gordon Gano, bassist Brian Ritchie and drummer Brian Viglione – remain as intrepid and fearless as ever before, traversing genre and emotion via their immediately identifiable, still utterly idiosyncratic, mash of rambunctious folk, minimalist punk, cubist blues, cosmic jazz and backwoods rock ‘n’ roll. Produced by Jeff Hamilton – a longtime member of the Horns Of Dilemma, Violent Femmes’ ever-evolving cabal of multi-instrumentalist backing musicians – and mixed by the legendary John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile, Dinosaur, Jr.), ‘We Can Do Anything’ was recorded in studios in Brooklyn, Nashville, Los Angeles, Milwaukee and Denver while on tour during the summer of 2015. The album’s cover image was drawn by Barenaked Ladies’ Kevin Hearn, who also contributed accordion, guitar, keyboards and backing vocals on several recordings. Rounding out the live touring band and members of The Horns Of Dilemma are John Sparrow and Blaise Garza, who has been playing with the band since he was 14 years old. One of the most beloved bands of the golden age of indie rock, Violent Femmes returned to action in 2013 with an acclaimed performance at Coachella, their first live appearance in several years. Drummer Brian Viglione (The Dresden Dolls, Nine Inch Nails) came aboard in 2013. The Violent Femmes embarked on a wide-ranging tour that included headline dates and ecstatically received festival sets around the world. The Guardian applauded their London show as “a triumphant rampage through their back catalogue,” declaring the band’s self-titled 1983 debut to be “a cult classic of teenage alienation – a sneerier, post-pubescent ‘Catcher In The Rye’, if you like, with added nocturnal emissions and rattling acoustic bass solos.” Violent Femmes came together in 1981 and were quickly ranked among the era’s most inventive and original, constantly pushing forward with their singular blend of folk and punk, sarcasm and spirituality. The trio released eight studio albums and more than a dozen singles, among them such iconic classics as ‘American Music’, ‘Gone Daddy Gone’, ‘Nightmares’, ‘Add It Up’, ‘Kiss Off’ and, of course, ‘Blister In The Sun’. Their remarkable three-decade career earned them cumulative sales in excess of 10 million worldwide, with 1983’s ‘Violent Femmes’ earning RIAA platinum certification eight years after its initial release.
