Frank Turner - FTHC
Regular price $61.50Frank Turner’s uncompromising single ‘Non Serviam’, a two-minute blast of vitriolic hardcore and the latest track taken from his new
album ‘FTHC’ following the release of singles ‘The Gathering’ and ‘Haven’t Been Doing So Well’. Speaking about the track, Frank
explains “my new record, FTHC, is a punk rock record, and when I say that I'm not kidding. This is the first song from the album, a
song about staying true to your artistic ideals, standing firm for the things you believe in.”
‘FTHC’ was recorded at ARC – Abbey Recording Studios – just outside of Oxford and produced/mixed by Rich Costey (Foo Fighters,
Muse, Biffy Clyro). The album darts between punk, folk, hard rock and singer-songwriter confessionals, starting with the recent
single ‘The Gathering’ featuring Jason Isbell and Muse’s Dom Howard. ‘Fatherless’ is particularly revealing as Turner reflects on
childhood trauma. ‘A Wave Across A Bay’ is a tribute to his friend, the late Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit. The album ends
with a rumination on leaving the capital after 7300 days for a new life on the Essex coast with the bittersweet ‘Farewell To My City’.
It’s a mini autobiography rooted in time and place, but one that ultimately accepts that it’s time to move on.
