The Task Has Overwhelmed Us
The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project
Nearly a decade in the making, The Task Has Overwhelmed Us emerges as the highly anticipated fourth volume in The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project series. This project pays homage to the late Gun Club singer's exceptional talent, celebrating him as one of America's most captivating and influential singer-songwriters of the last century. By infusing his timeless material with fresh interpretations, this album bridges the gap between past and present.
Building upon the foundation established by its predecessors - We Are Only Riders (2009), The Journey Is Long (2012), and Axels and Sockets (2014) - The Task Has Overwhelmed Us delivers stellar renditions of tracks from Pierce's Gun Club and solo repertoires. Additionally, it introduces new creations crafted from rehearsal fragments, previously unheard lyrics, and songs solely performed in live settings. This collection showcases a remarkable array of contributors, including Nick Cave, Debbie Harry, Mark Lanegan, Dave Gahan, Suzie Stapleton, Duke Garwood, Pam Hogg, The Coathangers, Peter Hayes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Lydia Lunch, Youth, Jim Jones, Warren Ellis, Mark Stewart, Hugo Race, Mick Harvey, and more. Each artist brings their own experience and extraordinary originality to this project.
