The Monitor will be the second album by Titus Andronicus and has be scheduled for release on March 9th.
The Monitor is 65 minutes long, and is comprised of 10 tracks varying in length between 1:55 and 14:02.
The Monitor is a concept album about the Civil War, “sort of”, says singer Patrick Stickles. He goes on to say that “It doesn’t take place in olden times, nor does it necessarily feature any characters that participated in that conflict. Really, it is a record about how the conflicts that led our nation into that great calamity remain unresolved, and the effect that this ongoing division has on our personal relationships and our behavior and how they’re all out to get us (or maybe not?) and yadda yadda yadda.”
The band also has lofty touring plans, and will start a national tour near release that will include an appearance at SXSW. You can also catch them at New York’s Mercury Lounge on New Year’s Eve.
