Description
The 'Los Angeles' three - way collaboration emerged from an insatiable curiosity. Comprising two of the most renowned and creative drummers of the post - punk era, Lol Tolhurst of The Cure and Budgie from Siouxsie & The Banshees and The Creatures, along with the outstanding producer and multi - instrumentalist Garret 'Jacknife' Lee, this unexpected alt - supergroup has crafted one of the most remarkable albums of 2023 over the past four years. Looking through the tracklist, which features guest appearances by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, Bobby Gillespie, civil rights avant - gardist Lonnie Holley, Starcrawler's wild spirit Arrow de Wilde, and The Edge from U2, you're bound to wonder what this 13 - track album has in store. The answer is a 55 - minute, hard - hitting, and irresistibly exploratory electronic masterpiece. It's built on unparalleled rhythmic skills, enriched with a variety of synths, guitars (Jacknife's specialty), and additional percussion. Often, it's layered with top - notch strings and brass, all masterfully shaped by Lee in his role as a super - producer. This album will be available as a double LP, with an etched side B on volume 2 and a printed inner sleeve. Tracks include: 1. This Is What It Is (To Be Free) (featuring Bobby Gillespie), 2.
