Titus Andronicus Single, Album Cover

"In a Big City"

Remember those things I said in my review of River City Extension's excellent Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Your Anger?  Those things about the forces influencing much of the music and many of the bands from New Jersey?

Well, Titus Andronicus have made available the first single from their upcoming Local Business via a lyrics video at their tumblr.  As promised, it's a straight-ahead rock and roll track.  It also chronicles the attempts of someone who "...grew up on one side of the river" to make something of himself by moving to the other side.  It's nice to see one of the teased "brief respites from the usual doom and gloom" in Patrick Stickles's admission that "...some of my dreams are coming true."

The band have also revealed the cover artwork and some pre-order details.  Local Business comes out on XL Recordings on October 23rd.
