Titus Andronicus - Home Alone On Halloween 2xLP

With Home Alone on Halloween, noted rock band Titus Andronicus [hereafter +@] celebrate the spookiest of the seasons by staring into the abyss and confronting the bone-chilling terror which lies at the haunted heart of our human experience. Bearing the justly feared catalog number MRG666, the 12-inch EP spans 31 minutes and features three tracks recorded concurrently with the group's most recent full-length A Productive Cough, offering an autumnal tableau of dread and decay to complement it's LP companion's springtime visions of rebirth and new possibilities. The title track remixes A Productive Cough's hardest-rocking selection, foregrounding it's ominous strings and swelling organ and featuring a soulful new lead vocal from frequent +@ special-teams captain Matt ""Money"" Miller, while ""Only a Hobo"" plucks an oft-forgotten gem from the dusty corners of the Bob Dylan songbook to paint a grim portrait of hopes dashed and potential squandered. Eeriest of all is ""A Letter Home,"" which, across nearly 17 minutes and more than 1,200 words, drags the listener along for a harrowing descent into the darkness and proves definitively that this ceremony is no mere monster mash.
