David Lance Callahan - Strange Lovers - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

Over the course of his 30+ year career, David Callahan has charted a distinct course. From the angular pop of The Wolfhounds to the experimental post/art rock of Moonshake and back to the sharper-than-ever recently reformed Wolfhounds, Callahan is always known for smart, unsparing lyrics, a fierce DIY ethic and an ever-inquisitive sonic adventurism. Now for Slumberland's SLR30 Singles Series Callahan is set to his first official solo recordings. Minimally recorded at home with an acoustic guitar, sampler, glockenspiel and a couple of friends guesting on harmonies, the double A-side cuts of InchStrange LoversInch and InchWaiting For The Cut-OffInch reveal a subtler, though still intense, side to his songwriting. Despite the new simplicity of the arrangements, the new songs sound just as original as any of his previous work. This 7Inch looks a treat as well, arriving bedecked in a full-colour painting by Florida artist Sean Mahan.A Strange LoversAA Waiting For The Cut-Off
