Polyvinyl Record Co. and Laura Jane Grace are pleased to present ‘Active Trauma’, the newest single to be lifted from the Friday, July 18th release of ‘Adventure Club’ by Laura Jane Grace In The Trauma Tropes, a new and incendiary, 12-song collection that explores the archetypical hero’s journey tropes from classic Greek mythology: love, war, trust, betrayal, virtue & vice, iced coffee drinks — it’s all there, and so is the fun! A stomping number about recognizing that you can never outrun the past — even if, as Grace half-jokes, you actually run to attempt just that — ‘Active Trauma’ suggests that you may be able to overpower it, to “burn this house to the fucking ground.”
Featuring the help of Grace’s wife and collaborator Paris Campbell Grace (vocals) and Athens, Greece-based musicians Jacopo “Jack” Fokas (bass) and Orestis Lagadinos (drums), ‘Adventure Club’ is the product of a month-long, life-changing trip and songwriting retreat in Greece that came by way of a Fellowship grant through the Onassis Foundation that provided Grace with the inspiration to create some of the best punk she’s ever made.
