Release Date:07/26/2019;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. Violent Femmes' tenth studio album, Hotel Last Resort resides among the groundbreaking band's finest work, simultaneously refining and redefining their one-of-a-kind take on American music, mingling front porch folk, post punk, spiritual jazz, country blues, avant garde minimalism and golden age rock 'n' roll into something still altogether their own. Founded and fronted of course by singer/ guitarist Gordon Gano and acoustic bass guitarist Brian Ritchie, the Milwaukee-born combo remains as warm, wise and weird as ever before, with such new favorites as "Another Chorus" and "Everlasting You" continuing to mine the vast range of ideas, melodic complexity and organic sonic craftsmanship that has characterized the band's body of work since their landmark self-titled 1983 debut.
