Desaparecidos- Payola
More than a decade after putting out their first album, Desaparecidos return with a follow-up that breathes new life into their brutal fusion of protest music and punk. Though the band never truly parted ways, vocalist/guitarist Conor Oberst, guitarist Denver Dalley, keyboardist Ian McElroy, bassist/vocalist Landon Hedges, and drummer Matt Baum have spent much of the past 13 years pursuing other ambitions (including Oberst’s work as a solo artist and Bright Eyes frontman). Fueling their Epitaph Records debut Payola with the same spirit of unrest that propelled 2002’s Read Music/Speak Spanish, Desaparecidos now match that passion with a fuller, more furious sound and gut-punching commentary on everything from immigration reform and the healthcare debate to gun control and Wall Street bailouts.
Tracklist:
- The Left is Right
- The Underground Man
- City on the Hill
- Golden Parachutes
- Radicalized
- MariKKKopa
- Te Amo Camila Vallejo
- Ralphy's Cut
- Backsell
- Slacktivist
- Search the Searches
- 10 Steps Behind
- Von Maur Massacre
