Titus Andronicus - The Most Lamentable Tragedy

Triple LP containing 28 tracks and more than 93 minutes of music

Exclusive poster and full download included

The Most Lamentable Tragedy is the fourth studio album by Titus Andronicus and the band's debut for Merge Records, appearing here as a triple LP.

The central narrative of TMLT ("a work of fiction," claims singer/songwriter Patrick Stickles) concerns an unnamed protagonist whom we meet in deep despair. Following an encounter with his own doppelgänger (an enigmatic stranger, identical in appearance though opposite in disposition), long held secrets are revealed, sending our protagonist on a transformative odyssey, through past lives and new loves, to the shocking revelation that the very thing that sustains him may be the thing to destroy him.

TMLT was produced by frequent collaborator Kevin McMahon and lead guitarist Adam Reich. The core band is rounded out by the long-standing rhythm section of Eric Harm (drums) and Julian Veronesi (bass) plus rookie guitarist Jonah Maurer. Joining in throughout are pianist Elio DeLuca and violinist Owen Pallett, beside a cast of guests representing some of New York's most exciting bands (The So So Glos, Baked, Bad Credit No Credit, Lost Boy?, etc.).

TMLT is both the crown jewel of the band's discography and the legend that contextualizes their entire body of work. It reveals that Titus Andronicus are what hardcore fans have said they are for years, and what the world must now recognize them to be: not merely the greatest rock and roll band of this era, but one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.
