Hear Travis Morrison’s New Album

posted by on August 1 at 9:57 AM

Former Dismemberment Plan frontman has a new band (Travis Morrison Hellfighters) and a new record (All Ya’ll) coming out August 21st on Barsuk. You can stream the whole thing at his website, www.travismorrison.com. A few of the tracks are available for download too, including this one, “As We Proceed” (click for the MP3).

Here’s what he says about the record:

The record was written mostly in early 2005, and then after some unsatisfactory attempts to record them, me and the Hellfighters stopped working on it. I started singing in church choirs, working for volunteer organizations here in DC, and did some travelling. We reconvened in Chicago in the fall of 2006 and recorded the songs with Jason Caddell, who was a bandmate of mine in the Dismemberment Plan, at the Chicago Recording Company. It was mixed by Jason and Joel Hamilton.

The art is done by an Israeli fellow who calls himself Jewboy (http://www.jewboy.co.il.) His mother calls him Yaron though. Well, I mean, what do I know, maybe his mother calls him Jewboy. That would be different.

I haven’t listened to it yet, my internet connection is as slow as shit (and shit’s really slow), but I’m sure I’ll have plenty to say in a couple hours after hearing it.

I think his first record got a pretty raw deal. It was actually really good. Extremely unique, at the very least. Pitchfork can suck it. Seeing him do that stuff live, especially solo, was pretty amazing.
