CHRIS CONNELLY 5/5/2024

Chicago-based music legend CHRIS CONNELLY is back with a new album, 'The Lives and Loves of the Serial Homesick, Vol. 1' . In four decades of making music, since his days with FINI TRIBE in Edinburgh, he has consistently pushed the creative envelope, between his involvement in MINISTRY, THE REVOLTING COCKS, PIGFACE and SONS OF THE SILENT AGE, his solo work (with 20+ releases) and four books. Connelly also shares a video for the album's lead track 'Fini Chagall', featuring original footage of Fini Tribe from the 1980s.

This album is rooted firmly in Edinburgh, exploring his hometown in impressive sonic fashion. Each CD comes with a unique drawing by Connelly. He shares, "This album serves as an impressionistic view of my life in Edinburgh before I moved to the States, leaving behind what I now realize is unfinished business, unresolved aspirations, like a plant viciously ripped out by the roots and thrown away. Following the death of my mother in 2023, I spent time wandering around the streets on my own, trying to place the melancholy, trying to steal back the essence of joy I felt in my late teens/early 20s, and it inevitably led me to write, which is the way I have always been able to answer my own questions."
