Search - FreeBass :: It's A Beautiful Life

Long awaited 2010 debut album from this collaborative project between the triumvirate of celebrated Mancunian bassists Peter "Hooky" Hook (Joy Division / New Order), Gary "Mani" Mounfield (The Stone Roses / Primal Scream), Andy "Rourkie" Rourke (The Smiths) and lead singer Gary Briggs. Deftly arch guitar work and wonderfully cascading bass lines permeate the album which serves to slyly re-interprets members' styles and influences in inventive engaging cocktail of Northern Soul, Dub, Krautrock and more, paying homage to the past but not trading off it.
