Titus Andronicus
An Obelisk (black)
'An Obelisk' is the sixth album from Titus Andronicus, which finds the band under stewardship of producer and legendary rocker Bob Mould (Hüsker Dü, Sugar). This trans-generational meeting of the minds has yielded the most immediate and unadorned Titus Andronicus record to date. Clocking in at 38 minutes, it is also the shortest. Recorded over six days at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, 'An Obelisk' presents the sound of Titus Andronicus, rock band, at its most irreducible, as monolithic as the album's titular monument. Titus Andronicus is led by singer-songwriter Patrick Stickles, now flanked by longtime guitarist Liam Betson and the indomitable rhythm section of R.J. Gordon on bass and Chris Wilson on drums.
