Jesse Malin - Outsiders

Release Date:11/20/2015;Notes:Vinyl LP Pressing. Back in March 2015 Jesse Malin returned with his first album in five years, New York Before the War, a hymn to everything Malin believes in most: respecting your roots, grabbing the future by it's throat, and creating a soundtrack for a life filled with meaning. Outsiders meanwhile, recorded concurrently to that record is an altogether different beast. And Jesse is no slouch when it comes to writing either - that album's 13 tracks were pared down from close to forty songs and post release it was apparent that there was a great deal of quality material left over. More significantly than that, Malin realized that the songs were thematically similar - "Outsiders is a record built out of optimism and disgust," says Jesse. "It's really in my own dark bubble while we were recording it. We all made a deal to stay off the phone and the net during the making of this record, and it felt good to just live in the moment - we just let it roll.";Track List:1. Outsiders (2:47);2.
