This band doesn’t ever stop making records so this record collects a bunch of those records and puts em on one record so you don’t have to track down all those other records.
Given the title of the album, I did a lot of thinking about failure and art and my relationship to those things when working on this. That’s why I ended up “sampling” a bunch of Neoclassical art for the cover, including the foreground moment which is taken from the painting in which Socrates chooses to drink poison and die to prove a point. I also wanted to include a little reference to Sordid Youth Volume 1, the first installment of these Raging Nathans singles collections, so that’s what the skull jacuzzi is all about.
Available on black, yellow, and random mixed color vinyl and includes a 2-sided 11”x17” poster insert. Photos of the package by Clayton Hauck.
