As Bitter Bitter Weeks has evolved from a solo project to a full band, McTear returns with his finest songs and best album. While past albums were dark and minimal, this is vast, honest, assured and, dare we say, &#8220;triumphant&#8221;. It taps into McTear&#8217;s work with Mazarin, as well as subtle Eno-esque beds of organ and tape echo, and the American jangle of the 1980s college underground music.<\/p>\n<p>With<em> Peace is Burning&#8230;<\/em>,\u00a0 Bitter bitter weeks has arrived at a new era, presenting an extraordinary album of fully orchestrated memorable songs with featured guest performances by members of Mazarin, Apollo Sunshine, The A-Sides, BC Camplight, The Velvet Crush, and more. There are songs about life and death, mid-air daydreams, cold war apocalyptic fantasy, ghost dreams, hyper-awareness in the last seconds of life, friendship gone sour, apologies to future generations, and much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High Two is proud to announce that we will be releasing the third album from Bitter Bitter Weeks.
