Hüsker Dü co-founder Grant Hart will release a new solo album, The Argument, on July 22 via Domino Records. The double album will feature 20 songs inspired by John Milton's 17th Century epic Paradise Lost. As the label explains, actual words from the poem, which regards the Fall of Man, are "rarely quoted directly [but] all of the menace, pain and devotion of Milton's best loved work are here found." Hart was evidently inspired by reading an unpublished William S. Burroughs manuscript called Lost Paradise, which recast the Bible's fallen angels as alien life-forms and God as 33rd President Harry S. Truman. As the album consists of two distinct halves, Domino has seen fit to share a song from each. First up is the melancholy "Is the Sky the Limit?" which could feel perfectly at home on Blur's lovely 2003 LP Think Tank (had Graham Coxon been around to man the guitar). Then we have "Letting Me Out," a rollicking rock'n'roller sung from Satan's point of view. The man and his band, the Burn/Burning, will tour extensively behind The Argument, accompanied by some sort of conceptual presentation. "We hesitate to use the phrases like rock opera or modern dance, but you get the idea," Domino says. Sounds promising. Style: Alternative

150 gram vinyl, 500 copies ltd. Finally released on vinyl, here is GRANT HART's acoustic live album! Recorded back in 1994 in Seattle and released only in USA and in CD, here we face a truly intense and deeply passionate acoustic performance from Grant Hart reviewing his songs as solo artist, as NOVA MOB and, of course, as HÜSKER DÜ. This record reminds us to Hüsker Dü as Johnny Thunders'"Hurt Me" was for New York Dolls. A recording fulfilled with honesty, sincerity and even desperation. This is a total must for all 80s 90s American independent rock followers Record Label: Bang! Style: Independent
