Bricks and Blackouts is an album by the American band Gaunt, released in 1998.[4][5] The album was not promoted by Warner Bros. Records, due to huge layoffs in their marketing division.[6] Gaunt supported the album with a North American tour.[7]
It was Gaunt's final album; in January 2001, frontman Jerry Wick died while riding his bike.[8]
The album was produced in part by Brian Paulson.[9] It was recorded at Pachyderm Studio, in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.[10] While the band's sound was poppier than in the past, the lyrics reflected the difficult year the band endured prior to the recordings sessions.[11] "Dancin' When You're Down" employs a horn section.[12]
