Mekons
Deserted

Descripción

Publicado en 2019 por Glitterbeat Records «Deserted» es el título del penúltimo álbum de estudio de la banda británica procedente de Leeds Mekons. Innovadores radicales tanto del punk de primera generación como de la música de raíces más insurgentes con más de 40 años de trayectoria, los Mekons regresan tras 8 años de silencio discográfico con «Deserted», disco grabado en Joshua Tree (California) con 9 canciones que no dejan indiferente a nadie, un proyecto artístico continuo de observación, ira y compasión impregnada de una rebeldía ganada con esfuerzo (pero siempre divertida).

This legendary group from Leeds, have written contemporary music history for the last 40 years as radical innovators of both first generation punk and insurgent roots music. Their new album was recorded in the desert environs of Joshua Tree, California and is drenched with widescreen, barbed-wire atmosphere and hard-earned (but ever amused) defiance. The return of one of the planet’s most essential rock & roll bands. For more than four decades they’ve been a constant contradiction, an ongoing art project of observation, anger and compassion, all neatly summed up in the movie Revenge of the Mekons, which has ironically brought an upsurge in their popularity around the US as new audiences discovers their shambling splendour. And now the caravan continues with Deserted, their first full studio album in eight years.
