Great American Painting

The Districts' Great American Painting is the follow up to the band's 2020 album You Know I'm Not Going Anywhere, which was released the day the world shut down [3/13/20], so all of the album promotion post release and touring was unfortunately shut down. This new record is the band's most expansive yet - with the aim for a more accessible alternative sound with assistance from Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, My Morning Jacket, The Raconteurs) who produced the album and mixed by Matty Green (Weezer, Grouplove). This record is a new era. The desire to create something larger than yourself, that will infiltrate people’s hearts like well-oiled machines, to paint pictures that will shake them and create a resounding push forward towards something more. In our pandemic isolation, what we wanted was to play a loud collage of music, unconfined by preconceived notions of what it should be, and to transcend ourselves in a room full of breathing, screaming, vibrating human beings - to let the darkness out in a cathartic squeal of noise, eclipsing it with light. We wanted to feel it all at once with you and to escape this fucked up world and find our way into a better one together.
