Defeater: Letters Home – VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. A band known for their captivating and comprehensive storytelling just as much as their elaborate and complex music, Massachusetts’ Defeater releases their third full-length album, Letters Home. These 10 new tracks are heavy and haunting, while lyrically poignant and continuing the story of a working class family living in post-WWII America. Letters Home revolves around the father of two brothers that listeners were introduced to in two of Defeater’s prior releases (Travels and most recently Empty Days & Sleepless Nights), giving a background to the character and seeing some of the events from those past albums through his eyes. Letters Home is legitimately Defeater’s heaviest body of music thus far – featuring powerfully intricate guitar instrumentation, colossal-sounding drums, and vocalist Derek Archambault’s voice sounding more ferocious than ever before.
