So, we had songs for lovvers lovers recently and now we have a taster of the real thing.
AXTXTXIXUXDE is a sneak preview mp3 from the new Lovvers album and it’s very tasty indeed.
Lovvers are loud. Lovvers are filthy. Lovvers have churned out a debut EP of cruddy (in the best way!) punk jams that get the likes of Jay Reatard and Wipers in simultaneous full nelsons. Does that sound like a feat of strength? It is. "Wasted Youth" is about ninety seconds of such derring do, below and free of charge. Above is the video for "Human Hair." They're kicking over trash cans in Austin this week. Catch them if you can.
In a little less then the month you are going to be bombarded by an album called Dissolver from a band called Iran. People will try and tell you that this band is a side project of TV On the Radio’s because it includes Kyp Malone in the band and because Dave Sitek twiddled the knobs. All of this sort of makes sense, but if you delve a little deeper you will learn that Iran pre-dates TV On the Radio and that the band have already released two excellent albums that sound nothing like Dissolver. This is not to say Dissolver is a bad record, it’s just different from what they did on Iran and The Moon Boys. This record hits like a ton of bricks, with loads of reverb and noise clouding your headphones and warping your brain waves. It’s far more lyrical then the self-titled debut, but so much dirtier then what the band is about to release. I’ll speak more of Dissolver soon but for now I’d like you folks to back track and listen to some of these messy, rocking songs.
