Existentialism

In July 2015, with the help of 75 die-hard mekons fans, Mekonception took place at the Jalopy Theater in Red Hook, Brooklyn, an event dedicated to creating a new record in real time around a single microphone. "Why should a record take more time to record than it does to listen to?" was the concept.
Born were twelve brand new mekons songs, created live in one take - part album, part performance art, part art-ifact, all mekons. Originally released as a highly limited edition book and CD only available through the band and long sold out, due to popular demand Bloodshot Records is proud to have a hand in releasing the stand alone CD component from this historic Mekons event.
