LP - Lorelle Meets The Obsolete – Corruptible Faces
Captcha Records releases the fan-fucking-tastic follow up to Lorelle Meets The Obsolete's 2011 debut psyche stunner "On Welfare" and the label peeps have all the details behind their latest here:
“2011 unleashed a hidden gem in the form of LORELLE MEETS THE OBSOLETE’s On Welfare. Maybe its that people couldn’t wrap their heads around the name but the record went sadly unsung into the ether, though it spent a lot of time on the RSTB speakers that year. Hopefully Guadalajara’s finest don’t suffer the same fates and fools on their follow-up, Corruptible Faces. Still brewing a hot pot of shoegaze and Krautrock bubbled through a psych filter, the band knows how to ride the edge of groove and gently cut back to spacey atmospherics to superb effect. The record explodes their sound in all directions; its spacier, poppier, heavier, headier and far more expansive. Though no matter how close they fly to a pop sun, the band still know how to bring down the veil of ethereal psych like a welcome shroud and for that, we love them. Shimmering vocals bump piano plunks, bass grooves throb and wobble into organ swells and just when it seems like your headphones might not be able to contain the cacophony, it cools out into a welcomed smolder.”—Andy French, Raven Sings the Blues. Limited edition of 500 copies."
Lorelle Meets The Obsolete are quickly becoming an untouchable act, their blend of smeary psychedelia, gentle desert rock and Shoegaze majesty is setting them far above any current peers plying their take on this sound. And their latest offering "Corruptible Faces" goes further to prove the quality sonics this group is bringing. The songcraft and arrangements are stellar, the production work is sublime and the tunes just hands down deliver. We're talking top notch songs people, Lorelle Meets The Obsolete know when to lay back and let the pulse pace the song, when to guide the listener through the clouds with Lorelle's breathy echoed come hither vocals and when to lay into a track hard and heavy and blistering with effect-riddled guitar squalor and feedback drenched acid damaged psyche sorcery. Supremely Recommended.
