Good Luck Everybody

by AJJ

supported by

uglymormon This album has become more relevant the more time goes on, although I know that's not what Sean or the rest of the band were hoping for. If not for subject matter, the sound continues to grow on me heavy. The textures and melodies across the album are so unique to AJJ, and are presented in a way that only this band could really pull off. Favorite track: Feedbag.

Evelyn Evelyn The fact the Mega Guilotine becomes more relevant as time passes is both exciting and frustrating. Favorite track: Mega Guillotine 2020.

Accoy when the. WHEN
yeah Favorite track: Body Terror Song.

about

Ben Gallaty and I have pieced together an album that is reflective of our times. It’s pessimistic and sad, with small pockets of love and grace. It’s bitter. And funny. And scary, like a scroll through your endless feed. Showing you everything all at once, whether you were prepared to see it or not. I don’t particularly enjoy writing topical, political songs, but I have no control over what I write. We can only hope that this material will be dated next year and AJJ can move on to worthier subjects. I really hate explaining myself, but since I think it’s important I’ll make the theme of this album explicit: Basic human connection is the path to our collective return to sanity. We are very proud of this one and hope you enjoy it.

-Sean Bonnette

Probably Nothing, Possibly Everything

I don't think anything I write here will do justice to the artist who commited to this. It feels like he lets his heart open up to you with vulnerability and colours of sorrow, confusion, frustration and hope. All at once. And it's genuine. What does it all mean? Read the title. It all falls down in place and it's truly great. szczur
