Songs for the Underclass is an EP by Art Bergmann, released August 26, 2014 on weewerk.[1]
Prior to writing and recording the EP, Bergmann had spent several years effectively retired from the music business. Living on a farm in rural Alberta while recovering from degenerative arthritis,[2] he continued to perform sporadic live shows and released two albums of archival demo recordings, but had not recorded a new album since 1998's Design Flaw.[3] The EP, one of the most explicitly political works of Bergmann's career, was inspired by his renewed anger at the direction of contemporary politics,[4] and was supported by his most extensive tour of concert dates since the 1990s.[4]
