Vinyl LP pressing, digital re-master. Released in July, 1980, Back in Black was the first AC/DC album recorded without former lead singer Bon Scott, who died in February of that year. Back in Black was the first album to feature vocalist Brian Johnson, formerly of Geordie.  It doesn’t get any louder, more bad ass, more kick ass.  I mean…you can hear the start of “back in black…” right?  NOW imagine your NEIGHBORS hearing that.

This was originally intended as an orchestral piece inspired by the landscapes of Iceland. This last year has seen Albarn return to the music in lockdown and develop the work to 11 tracks which further explore themes of fragility, loss, emergence and rebirth. The result is a panoramic collection of songs with Albarn as storyteller.  Much like the beauty and chaos of the natural world it soundtracks, it vividly documents the emotional ebb and flow of the human condition, in all it’s extremes, serving as a soul enriching document for our times.
