In fact, she was planning on making a record with Against Me!, the band she's fronted for the past 23 years. But clearly, nothing went according to plan this year. So, Grace got to work. She picked up the phone and called Electrical Audio, the iconic studio in her adopted hometown of Chicago, Illinois, to ask if she could make a record with famed engineer Steve Albini. The goal was to go in and document these songs exactly as she'd been playing them in her home, straight to analog tape. When she hung up the phone, she had four days booked. The result of the session at Electrical Audio is Stay Alive, a record that doesn't just embody that title, it serves as the guiding principle behind its creations. But it also put life back into an industry that's been ravaged by venue closures, cancelled tours, and delayed records.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eA letter from Laura Jane: 'Hi, my name is Laura Jane Grace. This is my album. This album is about staying alive. Stay alive. Don't die. Work hard. Fight back. This album is an entirely analog recording. No computers were involved in the making of this album. These recordings were not edited together, these songs are documented performances. This album was written and recorded in Chicago, Illinois. I recorded this album with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio on the two days after the full moon of July 5th, 2020. The album was mixed in another two days time.'\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'Steve and I were the only two people in the studio. We both wore face masks and stayed 6 feet apart at all times. I only took my face mask off while singing. Please wear a face mask. There are songs on this album about haunted swimming pools and burning churches. There are songs about mountains. There are songs about astral seas and dry lakes. There are songs about drinking espressos and eating croissants at the Bora Bora beach club in Marbella, Spain. There are songs about dirty rivers that smell like pee in Glasgow, Scotland.'\u003cp\u003eSwimming Pool Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalendar Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShelter In Place\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturn To Oz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMountain Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuperNatural Possession\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHanging Tree\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease Leave\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy Kant I Be You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIce Cream Song\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Magic Point (Bitter Green Dream)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlood \u0026amp; Thunder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, F**k Off\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld Friend (Stay Alive)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55131863875969,"sku":"1225918","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41nkXxdBprL._SL1500_62d3a001-58ac-4eb3-a1d0-586016c40ee2.jpg?v=1766953723","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1225918","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
