If you follow Lee Bains on Twitter, you’ll know that he is a vocal proponent for social change and justice. His passion is unquestioned and he’s turned that passion into his new 7″. Some info on the track is below. For good measure I included a video of them doing Dirt Track with Jam In The Van because I thought it’s hysterical that somebody tried to contain all that energy in a wee old van.
“The song “Sweet Disorder!” is about disrupting systems that have proven to fall short of, if not completely undermine, their purported missions (e.g., criminal justice, mental health, the church, language) for the sake of realigning them with those missions. The song developed out of months spent revisiting the Objectivist poets, binging on early Clash albums, and observing the Atlanta actions surrounding the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and other unarmed people of color. The song is the first completed work in a group of songs, tentatively titled Juvenile Detention, aimed at investigating questions of socialization, youth, identity, law, privilege, religion, culture, place, causality and memory.”
