Description
Widely heralded as one of the defining indie acts of the decade, Austin’s …AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD (often abbreviated to Trail Of Dead) are back with their highly-anticipated new album. The Century of Self is epic, and was clearly made without the gimlet eye of a major label A&R person overseeing it. From the soaring instrumental opener, “Giants Causeway,” to the album’s closer, “Insatiable Two,” which starts off with the sounds of a demented circus and ends with an echoing sing-along about Conrad Keely’s lack of monstrosity, the record is a work of tremendous scope and ambition. Fifteen years in to their career,Trail of Dead continues to innovate and grow. At a point where many other bands would be resting on their laurels and half-heartedly tossing off greatest hits comps, Trail of Dead are just getting started.
