In this new album they have gone back to basics, both with the line-up and with
the music. The album was recorded live in the studio on analog tape at Steve
Albini’s studio in Chicago, the home of a long string of huge rock recordings.

The album starts with “Work Songs For A Scattered Past.” A very simple bass
riff runs through the piece. The drums join in with a steady rhythm as the sax
plays a single note. Then everything starts to ramp up. The sax develops that
note into its own version of the riff, and the drums start to add powerful
improvisations. That riff then passes back to the bass as the sax improvises
over the top. After a period of intense power everything calms down back to a
basic rhythm and the simple riff as the volume gradually fades to an end. It’s
powerful and dramatic, but beautiful at the same time.
