Buñuel shares the anthemic track “American Steel” featuring Duane Denison of The Jesus Lizard, The Dension Kimball Trio and Tomahawk who comments, “Eugene Robinson’s vocals have the effect of listening to a desperately flailing drowning man, and my guitar serves as a malfunctioning floatation device–it never quite makes it long enough to provide actual safety.”
Buñuel’s singer and lyricist, Eugene S. Robinson is nothing if a documentarian of a certain kind of power madness. Here best exemplified by a song that pays tribute to one of the single things that most enlarged American coffers, while at the same time drawing the most and worst kind of blood. Tanks, big bore hemis, assault weapons and the Harley’s they rode in on. Fiction? Not here they’re not.
Taken from their album Mansuetude, a co-release between SKiN GRAFT and OVERDRIVE, arriving digitally this Friday, and with physicals now following on 15th November.
Also highlighted today is a retail exclusive “Primeval Green” coloured vinyl variant edition, which will only be available from participating retailers. The “Primeval Green” edition joins the general release “Hard Smoked” coloured vinyl offering. Both variations will be packaged inside a gatefold vinyl sleeve, include a poster-lyric sheet, a wraparound “Footlong” Obi and are topped off by side four’s etched vinyl disc. Mansuetude will also be available on CD and cassette.
