Search - Manhattan Love Suicides :: Burnt Out Landscapes

"This Leeds foursome's fuzzed-out dream-pop recalls not only JAMC, but also the willowy female vocals of C86 alumni the Shop Assistants. However, rather than revive the sexualized gore of the `80s movie underground--or the black-leather tropes of recent retro noise-poppers like the Raveonettes--the Manhattan Love Suicides' self-titled debut throbs with the giddy vulnerability of the scene that the NME's C86 compilation helped spawn." -- Pitchfork The Manhattan Love Suicides have a mission. They want to write, record, and release songs on their own accord. The DIY ethic is in their blood. The band wears its influences on its sleeve, and never has Phil Spector's Wall of Sound met so cohesively with the Jesus & Mary Chain's. This collection of songs is taken from the four singles the band has released over the last year, and contains additional unreleased songs as well as some live recordings.
