Menzingers: Everything I Ever Saw 12″ (PRE-ORDER)

Description

Everything I Ever Saw finds THE MENZINGERS entering a new era in whats already been a storied career. The Philadelphia punk legends eighth album chronicles moments of significant changethe personal, the political, and the universalwhile returning to the core creative principles that first put them on the map with listeners the world over. Twenty years in, the Menzingers have discovered that the wisdom gained with times passing is even stronger than the emotional armor they once wore in their youth, and Everything I Ever Saw captures the quartet embracing the here and now while strengthening the bonds that have held them together.

THE MENZINGERS have always created as a four-headed unit, with all members (vocalist/guitarist Greg Barnett, vocalist/guitarist Tom May, bassist Eric Keen, drummer Joe Godino) throwing in their respective talents as part of the craftbut for Everything I Ever Saw, the group worked in creative symbiosis more than ever before. The way we made this record feels the most like how the band was in the very beginning: Me and Tom coming to the band with the most basic element of a song, and the four of us shaping that, Barnett says.

Instrumental in building that excitement was locally centered and nationally renowned production legend Will Yip, who threw in with the Menzingers on 2017s After the Party and their sonically expansive 2019 record Hello Exile. This time around, Yip once again became an unofficial Menzinger while the band crafted these 11 songs in their South Philly space. Working with Will was like a homecoming, May beams while talking about Yips contributions. Weve grown up together over these years, and were still incredibly close friends. Hes the best at gassing you up and making sure everybodys on the right page, but hes also so good at pointing out stuff that might not fit the vision without being a fucking prick. Hes the hardest working person that weve come across in the music industry, and hes incredibly inspiring.
