The Smiths - Meat Is Murder - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In MX Lonely's world, monsters are multifaceted things. They're the creatures we used to imagine lurking in the shadows as a child; the all-too-real evildoers who abuse their power or line their pockets with sufering; the vices and flaws that we grapple with throughout our lives, and what we can become while under their grip. On their debut full-length album ALL MONSTERS, the Brooklyn-based band search dark corners, force open doors and exhume these monsters, via a heavy, murky alt-rock sound that's equally streaked with beauty. As their first entirely self-recorded , ALL MONSTERS sees the band - synthesist/vocalist Rae Haas, guitarist Jake Harms bassist Gabriel Garman and drummer Andy Rapp - capturing a live, immediate, analogue sound which embodies the feeling of their live show, while also creating a more longform and nuanced experience than they have before. Going forward, they aim to keep heading out on the road and building a community based on mutual catharsis. InchI think that's kind of the manifestation or the prayer in this, is for everyone to have the space and tools to work through their own monsters,Inch Haas says. Though committed to introspection, ultimately MX Lonely want to bring others into their world.

Following their underground hit InchHooked On Your Love,Inch the Aleem brothers - Taharqa and Tunde-Ra Aleem - returned in 1981 with this unstoppable boogie-disco single. Teaming up with vocalist Corky Hodges, they delivered a dancefloor gem packed with soaring vocals, rich production, and a massive, instantly-addictive chorus that defined early-'80s club brilliance. Long sought-after by boogie collectors, a mint original regularly tops £100 on Discogs - if you can even track down a clean copy. This reissue finally brings a rare classic back within reach. Pressed on Yellow Vinyl.
