Titus Andronicus: "A More Perfect Union"

10:55 a.m. · March 1, 2010 · by Andrew Winistorfer

Titus Andronicus' fuck-all abandon is channeled into a concept album about the Civil War on their sophomore album, The Monitor, which is due out next week. Titus really stretch out on this one, extending their flare-ups to epic lengths of nearly eight minutes. That's where first track "A More Perfect Union" comes in, as it encapsulates everything new (and the same, coincidentally) about The Monitor. It opens with a speech and ends with a promise. It's a good one. You can hear it at Stereogum.
