{"product_id":"one-day-lp","title":"One Day [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith One Day, Fucked Up have delivered one of the most energizing and intricate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ealbums of their career, a massive-sounding record that arrives in deceptively small \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003econfines. The Canadian hardcore legends have been known for their epic scale in the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epast, so it might be a surprise that Fucked Up’s sixth studio album is their shortest to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edate, written and recorded in the confines of one literal day (hence the title). Don’t \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emistake size for substance, though: The band’s sound has only gotten bigger, more \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehard-charging, with even denser thickets of melody. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“I wanted to see what I could record in literally one day.” That singular idea came \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto mind for guitarist Mike Haliechuk in the closing months of 2019. Haliechuk got \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehimself into a studio and proceeded to write and record the record’s ten tracks over \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethree eight-hour sessions, reconnecting with the core the band’s songwriting essence \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein the process. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInitially, Fucked Up vocalist Damian Abraham was also set to complete his vocals in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esimilar fashion—that is, before the lockdowns of 2020 took place. As it turns out, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe isolation yielded creative dividends, as Abraham returned to contributing lyrics \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eas well for the first time since 2014’s Glass Boys. “It almost felt like it might be the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elast time I’d ever get to record vocals for anything,” Abraham says of the stakes he \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efelt while putting his part to tape, before reflecting on how he approached the lyrical \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprocess: “What do I want to say to friends who aren’t here anymore? What do I want \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto say to myself?” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver swarms of tuneful noise that evoke Sonic Youth circa Daydream Nation, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbraham lets loose on gentrification in “Lords of Kensington,” which was inspired \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eby an “incredible” Toronto neighborhood that was regularly subject to life-ruining \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epolice surveillance and structural violence. “The police chief during that era—he just \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eopened a cannabis store,” Abraham explains. “It’s so cynical and gross, what society \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehas come to—but by being in a band, we’re culpable in changing the neighborhood, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etoo, since the punk spaces and cool happenings that pop up are part of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003egentrification. Are you building a culture? Or are you ruining something that’s already \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebeen there?” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen there’s the dusky burn of “Cicada,” a sonic cousin to Dose Your Dreams’ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eexcellent standout “The One I Want Will Come for Me” that features Haliechuk \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etaking lead-vocal duty. The song is dedicated to lost friends, and in his words, it’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eabout “what life is like after you lose people, and our responsibility to carry them \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforward into the future, using the things they taught us as a light. I like to imagine the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esound of cicadas as a metaphor for our strange life in the subculture—we all just live \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethese weird little hidden lives under the dirt, and then once in a generation, one of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eus gets to bust out of the dirt and intone their song so loud that it can be heard all \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eover.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne Day is an undeniable work of confidence from a band that continues to operate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eat the top of their game, making music that’s guaranteed to last a lifetime and be\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyond.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Think I Might Be Weird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuge New Her\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLords of Kensington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroken Little Boys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing's Immortal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFalling Right Under\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCicada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673855080116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merge Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.27.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fucked Up","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291679526993,"sku":"154341","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4149476-2904336.jpg?v=1760732396","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/one-day-lp","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
