Synopsis

Album Description
"The Manhattan Love Suicides blasted through a fifteen-minute nuts-and-bolts set. The band bristled with an image and swagger of attitude, from the angular, overly tall bassist to the Guinness-swigging lead singer. All this falls into place with a MBV-like dollop of punky fuzz guitar dirge and gently muffled lyrics." -- LEEDS SCENE For anyone who loves fuzzed-up guitar assaults, feedback, hit-and-run gigs, female vocals, melodic pop, ear-splitting minimalist noise--and hates a hell of a lot of other things--we give you The Manhattan Love Suicides! Features members of the much-buzzed-about Leeds band Pop Threat, a group that sparked comparisons to Sonic Youth and Velvet Underground. Not much is know about The Manhattan Love Suicides. They have only played five gigs, none of which lasted longer than ten minutes--yet already they've recorded a debut album. For influences think Jesus and Mary Chain, Galaxie 500, Velvet Underground, The Rosehips, The Golden Dawn, Meat Whiplash, that kind of stuff. Expect to hear highly fuzzed-up guitars, pounding drums, and female vocals. Should be twelve noisy, fuzzy pop hits scuzzily produced by our friend Matt at his Random HQ.

"wow...i can't believe no one has reviewed this yet.

what a wonderful, wonderful debut album. anyone with

a love for early JAMC, the flatmates, shop assistants...hell

any of the C-86 bands of the eighties...will absolutely

love this album. the cover of beat happening's "Indian

Summer" is a bit obvious, but it's still done very well.
