Titus Andronicus are back! The band have announced a new 7″ subscription series, starting with ‘Stranded (On My Own).’ For more information on the series, let me point you towards frontman Patrick Stickles ‘live press conference’ below. Be prepared for a weird pseudo-fictional monologue/rant that you can read into as little or as much as you like.

‘Stranded (On My Own)’ has apparently been a staple in Titus Andronicus sets for a good while. It opens with the instruction/declaration ‘Let’s rock!’ and then duly obligies. The lyrics are as strong as ever, with Stickles exercising his talent of sounded strong worded and eloquent, yet also sloppy and disorderly and uninhibited.
’I could have made history,
but now i’ve been made history.
Who knew that victory,
could be so slippery?
Cover the thick bloodstains
on your sick young brain.
Just take your ritalin,
and you can play the old hits again.’
You can hear it below.

The full set subscription has already sold out (our fault for being slow), but you can buy the first 7″ here, and there are various other packages and deals to be had on the +@ store.
