The Last Rotation of Earth – Vinyl LP

Vinyl LP pressing. The Last Rotation Of Earth follows his break-up amid long-term struggles with addiction and declining mental health. The outcome is an extraordinary record, with Christinzio describing it as “more cinematic, sophisticated and nuanced than anything I’ve done before.” Christinzio bettering his previous album is an achievement, given that Shortly After Takeoff received the best reviews of his life. “A masterpiece,” said The Guardian’s 5-star review, “a half hour or so that roils with anxiety, stuns with beauty and, occasionally, provokes laughter.” Even then, fate intervened when the album was released in April 2020, just as Covid and lockdown kicked in, so he could not tour the record until late 2021. The Philadelphian then joked, “I can’t wait to make an album that isn’t surrounded by some awful tragedy.”
