Overview

Labor is the second and final album from Brooklyn electropop band MEN. It was self-released on October 22, 2013, with full album streaming made available on Bandcamp as well as the New York Times interactive website. The album takes a subtler, more introspective approach than the band's overtly activist 2011 debut full-length, Talk About Body, although the single "Let Them Out Or Let Me In" supporting the Free Pussy Riot movement is included. After a shuffling of the band’s lineup since their debut, Samson has said she focused more on elements of transition and change for this self-released second album. By turning inward, Labor gives JD Samson & MEN greater accessibility. The reality that activist music can only go so far, this album serves to avoid restrictive genre terminology assigned to the band such as “LGBT music”. In addition to the activist single "Let Them Out Or Let Me In", the album also contains previously released songs: all three tracks from Next EP, released in February 2012. The band teamed up with French producer Yuksek on the single "All The Way Thru".

Notable quotes

“No single event has influenced the history of labor in Illinois, the United States, and even the world, more than the Chicago Haymarket Affair. It began with a rally on May 4, 1886, but the consequences are still being felt today. Although the rally is included in American history textbooks, very few present the event accurately or point out its significance.”
— William J. Adelman "The Haymarket Affair". illinoislaborhistory.org. Retrieved March 19, 2014.
“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”
— Thomas Edison, as quoted in Ford Times, Vol. 6, (1912), p. 136.
“There is no law that says we have to go to work every day and follow our employer’s orders. Legally there is nothing to prevent us from going to live in the wild like primitive people or from going into business for ourselves. But in practice there is very little wild country left, and there is room in the economy for only a limited number of small business owners.”
— Theodore John Kaczynski, Industrial Society and Its Future (1995)
“It is not enough to be industrious; so are the ants. What are you industrious about?”
— Henry David Thoreau, letter to Harrison Blake (16 November 1857).
“Cur quæris quietem, quam natus sis ad laborem?”
— Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor?
“The virtues, like the body,become strong more by labor than by nourishment.”
— Jean Paul, p. 368.
