Just Business

Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. Oxford, Mississippi native John Barrett traded up the leisurely pace of a musician's life in the Deep South for the crush-and-grind pace of the New York City. Not surprisingly, Just Business, Barrett's fourth record under the Bass Drum of Death banner is anything but kicked-back. "There's a certain kind of trouble that you're able to get into in New York that you're not able to get in anywhere else," laughs Barrett. Recorded over the space of a year in a studio space overlooking the congestion and hustle of Times Square, Just Business packs every bit the feedback-soaked, garage wallop of past BDOD fare. Like The Big Apple itself, Just Business is just plain bigger and deeper in scope than anything Bass Drum of Death has done before.
