The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project/The Task Has Overwhelmed Us

"It"s a wild ride, but then life with Jeffrey Lee Pierce always was"- Kris Needs
Das Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project hatte immer das Ziel, Jeffrey Lee Pierce als einen der einflussreichsten, aber auch meist unterschätzten US Singer-Songwriter hervorzuheben und seine Kunst in die heutige Zeit zu transportieren, indem Wegbegleiter:innen und Bewunderer:innen die Musik des 1996 viel zu früh verstorbenen The Gun Club Sängers neu interpretieren. Nach "We Are Only Riders" (2009), "The Journey Is Long" (2012) und "Axels and Sockets" (2014) präsentiert "The Task Has Overwhelmed Us" Songs aus Pierce"s The Gun Club- und Solo-Zeiten. Außerdem gänzlich neue Tracks, entstanden aus Song- und Textskizzen sowie Live-Demos, die der 1958 in Kalifornien geborene Pierce vor seinem Tod aufgenommen und niedergeschrieben hatte. Fast zehn Jahre nachdem das Vorgänger Album "Axels and Sockets" veröffentlicht wurde, erscheint mit "The Task Has Overwhelmed Us" endlich das finale Kapitel mit Künstler:innen wie u.a. Dave Gahan, Debbie Harry im Duett mit Nick Cave oder Peter Hayes von The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club als LP, limitierte col. LP &CD.

This is a pre-order. The item won't be shipped before 22.09.2023. If you want to order other items please place a separate order so those items are not delayed.

"It's a wild ride, but then life with Jeffrey Lee Pierce always was" - Kris Needs
The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project has always aimed to highlight Jeffrey Lee Pierce as one of the most influential, but also most underrated US singer-songwriters and his art to transport it into the present day by having companions and admirers reinterpret the music of The Gun Club singer, who died far too early in 1996. After "We Are Only Riders" (2009), "The Journey Is Long" (2012) and "Axels and Sockets" (2014), "The Task Has Overwhelmed Us" presents songs from Pierce's The Gun club and solo days. There are also completely new tracks, created from song and lyric sketches as well as live demos that Pierce, who was born in California in 1958, recorded and wrote down before his death. Almost ten years after the previous album "Axels and Sockets" was released, "The Task Has Overwhelmed Us" is finally the final chapter with artists such as Dave Gahan, Debbie Harry in a duet with Nick Cave and Peter Hayes from The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club as LP, limited col. LP & CD
