Task Has Overwhelmed Us, The (Vinyl)

It"s a wild ride, but then life with Jeffrey Lee Pierce always was"- Kris Needs

The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project has always aimed to highlight Jeffrey Lee Pierce as one of the most influential, but also most underrated US singer-songwriters and to transport his art into today's world by reinterpreting the music of The Gun Club singer, who died far too early in 1996. After "We Are Only Riders" (2009), "The Journey Is Long" (2012) and "Axels and Sockets" (2014), "The Task Has Overwhelmed Us" presents songs from Pierce "s The Gun Club and solo times.
Also included are entirely new tracks, created from song and lyric sketches and live demos that Pierce, born in California in 1958, had recorded and written down before his death.
Almost ten years after the previous album "Axels and Sockets" was released, "The Task Has Overwhelmed Us" is finally the final chapter with artists such as Dave Gahan, Debbie Harry in duet with Nick Cave or Peter Hayes of The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club as a CD, 2xLP, and a limited colored 2xLP
