New Christs – The Burning Of Rome: Selected Works (2LP)

The Burning of Rome: Selected Works doesn’t settle for the easy picks. Instead, it offers a deeper, more comprehensive look at The New Christs sonic universe, drawing from every corner of their discography, from their feral 1981 debut single Face a New God to highlights from their later studio albums, Distemper (1989), Lower Yourself (1997), We Got This!(2002), Gloria(2009) and Incantations(2014). The twenty tracks compiled here paint a vivid portrait of a band that, while never prolific, has never missed a beat.
