Titus Andronicus are gearing up to release their new record, Local Business, on October 23 via XL. It’s a bit of a back-to-basics record, at least in comparison to 2010’s epic The Monitor, but as Tom Breihan points out in his premature evaluation on the album for Stereogum, living in the shadows of The Monitor is the only potential downside Local Business faces — it’s otherwise an incredible record. Patrick Stickles and Co.’s knack for heartland punk songwriting is in tact as strong as ever before, there’s some un-tread territory for the band here too, like the Stonesy swagger of “(I Am The) Electric Man” and they recall the Misfits’ “We Are 138” on “Titus Andronicus vs. The Absurd Universe (3rd Round KO).” We’ve still got to wait another couple weeks for the record to hit shelves, but the band just revealed another standout cut, “Still Life With Hot Deuce On Silver Platter,” which you can stream below.

Titus’ tour with Ceremony in support of the album hits the NYC area on December 1 at Maxwell’s (sold out) and December 2 at Webster Hall (tickets).
