New York ensemble and experimental countrypolitan death-pop band LD & the New Criticism is the project by LD Beghtol —better known for his collaborations on the acclaimed 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields and other projects like Flare or The Three Terrors (with Stephin Merritt). Beghtol bends his baroque goth-pop westward in Tragic Realism, a gory, uke-joint country (think Haggard ca. ‘68 via Lovecraft and horror flix), backwoods folk-gospel raveup sure to bring a smile to your face, and often. Tragic Realism features 16 original rollicking pop songs (no, really!) about cheating, lying, fucking, stealing, murder, suicide, revenge and other natural disasters both public and private. Special guest stars in Tragic Realism include Jonathan Segel (Camper Van Beethoven, Sparklehorse), Shirley Simms (The Magnetic Fields) and Kendall Meade (Mascott).
