Bio / Background
Ted McCloskey’s 4th album, Technicolor Thieves, is a superior distillation of all of his previously recorded output into one expertly lobbed, angry, blast of angst, anxiousness, and loud guitars.
The album is a potent slice of not-so-thinly veiled disgust about pop culture, politics and the toll it takes on an observer who happens to write fantastic pop songs. As McCloskey himself explains in the very insightful liner notes;
“Technicolor Thieves is about imprisonment. It’s about abandonment and isolationism. It’s about recognizing a problem and not having the faintest idea how to improve the situation. It loiters between resentment and retreat.”
McCloskey’s writing has always been full of this sort of tug-and-pull anguish, but over the span of his last album, Who’s Gonna Listen Anyway and now Technicolor Thieves, The writing has gotten more specific, more pointed, and more undeniably pissed off.
