DAVID J (BAUHAUS/LOVE AND ROCKETS) RELEASES TRIPLE ALBUM
Independent Project Records and David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets) announced the release of the triple album Tracks From the Attic on digital, CD, colored vinyl LP and Super Deluxe Box Set Art Edition formats on May 3. The first single and video, “Oh No! Not Another Songwriter!”, are out now.
Hand-picked by David himself, the three-LP Tracks From the Attic was originally part of Record Store Day’s RSD Black Friday 2023 and features solo demos recorded on audio-cassette between 1984 and 2004. With Tracks From the Attic, the Bauhaus and Love and Rockets co-founder invites listeners on a most fascinating journey. We’re looking through boxes of tapes, getting reacquainted with an artist we’ve known for a long time – yet, the intimate songs he recorded in solitude over three decades reveal new sides to him. Even while busy with his two legendary groups, David J was bursting with songs; this is a thrilling selection of recordings he made sometimes on the road and mostly at home, with only the help of his Muse, a recorder and a lit candle. The fact that most of these tunes did not end up becoming beloved classics (something that, once you hit play, your ears will hardly come to terms with) is but a sign of David J’s ever prolific creative state. Tracks From the Attic offers a unique experience that gives equal importance to the aural, the visual and the tactile.
“These recordings were never meant for commercial release,“ said David J. “They were merely a form of notation, quick audio sketches rendered to capture arresting ideas as they came to me. Butterflies caught in a jar, if you will…and now they are set free to fly!”
