February 23 street date. Matador's Revisionist History Catalogue Series presents the 15th anniversary edition of Fucked Up's Polaris Prize winning sophomore album, "The Chemistry of Common Life", arriving on a limited edition clear orange double LP.
The now classic 2008 album synthesizes numerous diverse impulses into an expansive epic about the mysteries of birth, death, and the origins of life (and re-living). Merging elements of hardcore songwriting with up to 70 tracks of guitars, organs, winds and vocals (including 18 guitars on the first single, the fatalistic "No Epiphany"), the music remains iconoclastic and startling, with Pink Eyes' vocals front and center. Guest musicians, of course, abound, notably gorgeous voices such as Brooklyn's Vivian Girls and Toronto's Katie Stelmanis (Austra). Today, "The Chemistry of Common Life" remains as conceptually ambitious as it is musically adventurous, pushing through and far beyond the accepted boundaries of punk and hardcore.
