Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra to Release Fifth Album
Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra will release their fifth album, Did You Do The Thing We Talked About? this Friday, February 16. The quartet writes music steeped in 20th-century American traditions—jazz, folk, country, blues, and rock—but tackles modern subjects with urgency, humor, and a well of deep feeling. Today, they share the final single before the album’s release with “Justice for the Dead.”
In addition to four studio albums, Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra created the musicals No Place to Go and The Outer Space. “Justice for the Dead” is from a play of Ethan’s called Tumacho. In the play, a famous gunslinger is trying to explain to the woman who killed his son that he won’t be seeking revenge against her.
“Personally, I’ve always been a bit revenge curious,” said Lipton of the track. “By that I mean I can empathize with the feeling that hurting someone else might ease my own pain. And there’s a part of me that wishes revenge produced more positive outcomes, that it actually made the world a better place. But the evidence doesn’t seem to bear that out. And so, in the end, I vote against revenge.”
“Justice for the Dead” follows the LP’s heartfelt opening track “Talking To Bonnie” and “Mess That Summer”, the latter accompanied by a video starring Alex Borstein from “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
