Finally, here it is: the new Merchandise! To be blunt, this is the best release Katorga Works has had a hand in and we're honored to once again with the Merch Rockers. I know a lot of you have been anticipating this, so I'll just throw a generic label description at you and leave it at that:

"Over a year in the making, Merchandise's Children of Desire is a logical extension of their previous Strange Songs LP. The band takes their 'gazed out post-punk blueprint and incorporates elements of krautrock throughout, creating their most cohesive piece of music and, undoubtedly, their best work yet, as well as the finest Katorga Works release to-date."

If you are living anywhere in the U.S. other than the Northeast (damn them!), you should check them out on their month long April tour and get the LP from them there! They will also have a bunch of other releases, including the repress of their first LP, a CD-R of exclusive new material, a new D. Vassalotti tape, and other Merchandise stuff! Oh, and t-shirts!
