Sympathy Ltd. founder Justin C. Meyers has announced his first album for Shelter Press—one we can all relate to. Due out May 11th, Struggle Artist is described as a “violent collision with late capitalism,” an acousmatic meditation on the “expectations and disappointments arising from making art in his free time… the despondency of the precarious life.”
Check out a trailer below, along with the album’s cover art (Meyers also happens to be a killer illustrator) and a streaming version of the songs that complement Struggle Artist’s deeply personal themes of near-death experiences, hospital visits, and keeping on keeping on….
