Label: Old Europa Cafe – OECD 238 Format: CD, Album, Digipak Country: Italy Released: 12 Jul 2017 Genre: Electronic, Pop Style: Experimental, Industrial
Tracklist
1 The One Who Doesn't Die 2 War On Despair 3 Someday I Will Live My Life As A Horse 4 Vinegar Stew 5 Lillian Awoke 6 A Prostate In Autumn 7 BDA 30 8 Brazen, Ablaze 9 Thailand (Why Can't All the World Be?) 10 The Coughalong Song 11 Suicide Skyline (Method I) 12 Catholic Nihilist 13 Workplace Homicide
Although conceived as a return to his early days of lyrical nihilism and musical minimalism, Williams’s 7th full length release serves more as an old fashioned revue of his strengths and idiosyncrasies, from the gallows cabaret of "The One Who Doesn't Die" through to the vocal-free power electronics of "Catholic Nihilist.” Curious and inventive textures abound, but old fans will still feel warm and fuzzy within the confines of these preternatural songs of innocence --"Someday I Will Live My Life as a Horse"-- and experience -- "Thailand? (Why Can't All the World Be)."
Written, Performed and Recorded by David E. Williams at home in Fishtown, Philadelphia, USA Winter 2014 to Winter 2017
with Bain Wolfkind - Backing Vocal on "The One Who Doesn't Die". Co-Arrangement, Acoustic Guitar and Backing Vocal on "Thailand? (Why Can't All the World Be)” Tony Cesa - Co-Arrangement, Electric Guitar, and Backing Vocal on "Thailand (Why Can't All the World Be)" David Talento - Arrangement Concept, Electric Guitar and Backing Vocal on "BDA 30" Albo Sudekum - Violin and Violin Arrangement on "The Coughalong Song" Jerome Deppe - Chant Vocal on "The Coughalong Song" Jane Elizabeth - Backing Vocal on "The One Who Doesn't Die"
Mastered by James Plotkin.
