The Physical World 11th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Pre-Order)

"Iconoclastic. Everlasting."

It doesn’t matter how Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler met and formed the Toronto rock duo Death From Above 1979 (either on a pirate ship or in prison, take your pick). All that really matters is that they found a way to blend power rock and dance floor sensibilities, finally giving today’s sound the swagger it’s been missing. Their iconic debut album, You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine has enough blaring riffs, off-beat lyrics, intense rhythms, and strong hooks to satisfy anyone. 
 
Their follow-up sophomore album, The Physical World, saw the band reuniting at Coachella + performing on David Letterman in 2014. With high praise from the likes of Kerrang (100% score), NME (90% score), Alt Press (90% score), etc, The Physical World subsequently won ROCK ALBUM OF THE YEAR at the 2015 JUNO Awards, along with debuting at #3 on the Billboard Top Alternative Albums Chart. 

“With this record we were on the bumpy road of expanding our sound while staying true to the weird sideways approach we came up with in the hazy dreamlike early days. The first three days of the session were spent in studio 3 at Sunset Sound in LA. Prince’s room! Elliott Smith’s room! The session was most certainly haunted.” -SEBASTIEN
