Fucked Up – Chemistry Of Common Life (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Toronto's Fucked Up spent years building a hardcore foundation before pulling the whole thing apart on this 2008 record, layering psychedelic density and genuine spiritual inquiry over punk's raw materials. The album won the Polaris Music Prize that year, a recognition that felt both surprising and completely inevitable given how far the band had pushed the form.
Out February 23rd on translucent orange vinyl for the album's 15th anniversary: Fucked Up's now classic album 'The Chemistry Of Common Life' synthesizes numerous diverse impulses into an expansive epic about the mysteries of birth, death, and the origins of life (and re-living). Merging elements of hardcore songwriting with up to 70 tracks of guitars, organs, winds and vocals, (including 18 guitars on the first single, the fatalistic "No Epiphany"), the music remains iconoclastic and startling, with Pink Eyes' vocals front and center. Guest musicians, of course, abound, notably gorgeous voices such as Brooklyn's Vivian Girls and Toronto's Katie Stelmanis. A1. Son The Father A2. Magic Word A3. Golden Seal A4. Days of Last B1.
