All the songs on this album were written between October 13th and December 31st, 2023. I wrote them to bear witness to the genocide of the Palestinian people that continues by the hour as I publish this album. There are various videos, many more songs, essays, as well as an album songbook that can be found at davidrovics.com/palestine.

When the genocide of the people of Gaza began in October, 2023, and I began to write a series of urgent songs on the subject, Chet Gardiner shared that sense of urgency, and started taking the songs I was putting out there and making great improvements upon them from his home studio in Hawai'i.

In January we put out a 20-song album together called Notes From A Holocaust.

This album is a continuation of those efforts, but with a somewhat expanded scope. Roughly half the album consists of songs about the Gaza genocide that I've written since we put out Notes From A Holocaust. The other half of the album are songs I've written and recorded in the past few years, that either Chet or I thought would be good candidates for enhancement -- plus the much older songs, "St Patrick Battalion" and "In One World" for good measure.

For my part, I'm either playing a guitar, an Irish bouzouki, or a mandola. Everything else you hear is Chet, which includes electric and acoustic instruments of all descriptions, including guitars, basses, banjos, synth, percussion, vocal harmonies, and more.

The cover photo was taken at a gig in France by Isabelle Souriment, who also designed the album cover.

This is an album in three parts.

First, the ongoing genocide in Palestine, songs that were written in the past few months.

Second, mostly songs related to the class struggle, some very recent and some slightly less so.

The third part relates to the album title.

To paraphrase Renée DiResta, we live in an era especially characterized by the collision of the rumor mill and the propaganda machine. A collection of the songs I've written over recent years on that subject, such as the album's title track, make up the third part.

The songs were all written by David Rovics. Depending on the song, you'll also hear David's guitar, bouzouki, or mandola. If you hear female vocals, that's Kamala Emanuel. Anything else you're hearing -- bass, drums, synth, banjo, electric guitar, and various other odds and ends -- is Chet Gardiner."
