Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Five years have passed since The Classic Crime released their highly acclaimed album Phoenix, and now the Seattle rock group returns to unleash their highly anticipated fifth studio album, How To Be Human. How To Be Human contains The Classic Crime's most mature body of work yet, featuring 12 tracks of pure indie rock in the stylings of Death Cab For Cutie meets Motion City Soundtrack. Working with longtime producer and mixer Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Albatross, The Silver Cord, Vagabonds), the band was able to challenge themselves, exploring a "happy to be here" songwriting style, while feeling at home with Baskette's ability to try new recording techniques and cement the The Classic Crime's signature tight drum work and guitar layering. "Control and comfort will always reel us back in some," MacDonald explains, "But I like to cast out as far as I can to see if we can catch something good." The Classic Crime is Matt MacDonald (vocals and guitar), Robbie Negrin (guitar), Skip Erickson (drums), and Alan Clark (bass). TCC has toured the US, Canada, and Australia and have spent time on the road with artists such as MxPx, Relient K, Mest, Anberlin, the Rocket Summer, Emery, as well as two summers on the Vans Warped Tour with the likes of Katy Perry, Rise Against, and Underoath.
