Description
Austin Lucas releases his new album ”Alive In The Hot Zone!” October
30th, 2020. Written and recorded in the earliest days of the Covid-19
pandemic and Black Lives Matter/American uprising, this album represents
a new direction for Austin, yet retains his distinctive voice and
hyperliterate writing style. Contained are ten songs that serve as
direct commentary regarding the ongoing global situation, isolation,
fear and the indomitable spirit required to stand up against systemic
racism and fascism, in a world spiraling out of control.
An American songwriter and political activist currently experiencing a
more or less involuntary exile, Austin finds himself isolated in a
foreign land, far away from his family and friends. He watches with
terror and no small amount of inspirational awe, as his country buckles
under the weight of a pandemic and yet it’s people find the courage and
strength to rise up for a long overdue reckoning with centuries of
systemic oppression.
Although an authoritarian narcissist and white supremacist sits in the
White House and men of his ilk occupy top positions of power all across
the globe, Austin Lucas comes to us with a message of hope and his most
concisely empathetic and political album to date!
