Description
The buzz is already building and finally Roadrunner Records can announce the details of the hugely anticipated debut album from Flint,* Michigan’s KING 810. Flint,* MI,* the forgotten city,* is where KING 810 call home and it’s the dystopian dwelling that sets the back drop for the band’s debut LP,* Memoirs of a Murderer. With no mayor to preside over the bereft community and a miniscule police force,* Flint,* MI teaches its young to fend for themselves. Memoirs of a Murderer is an embodiment of KING 810’s life within this pressure cooker,* a glimpse into the personal account of this disappearing metropolis where tree branches live longer than the children do. Cut to a crackling old tape recorder,* singer David Gunn's narrative eclipses three distinct movements,* traveling from a very real place down a rabbit hole into the abstract. The three movements align with Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality,* in which the three elements of personality *- known as the id,* the ego and the superego *- work together to create complex human behaviors. It’s a striking and important body of work from the newest members of the Roadrunner Records roster *– the album is the embodiment of *(David Gunn’s) life within the pressure cooker of Flint,* MI,* fired by Gunn’s brutally honest narratives and starkly poetic lyricism. Memoirs of a Murderer sees Gunn confronting the violence that plagues the streets of Flint,* perfectly capturing the despair that infects the lives of those who reside in the belly of the beast. Memoirs of a Murderer is a remarkable journey through the post-millennial American wasteland,* terrifying,* tragic,* and ultimately transcendent.
