The Mekons - Deserted

The Mekons - DesertedEmboldened by a sold out tour and a surge of interest in the States after the release of the documentary Revenge of The Mekons, Mekons retreated to the fringes of Joshua Tree National Park and popular culture to record their new album Deserted. The long running, genre hopping, impossible to kill British folk punk collective summoned the forces of magic, fear and superstition for an album of shifting sand Sturm und Drang. It is at once a distorted howl

combining the intensity of Eminem’s storytelling with a rich sound experience
