Search - Two Lone Swordsmen :: Wrong Meeting 2

"There is a staggeringly high level of quality that infests just about everything Two Lone Swordsmen touch." -- Pitchfork "Superb, attitude-heavy tracks driven along by rattling drums, fine percussion, and Joy Division bass lines showcase Weatherall's excellent voice and first-class lyrics." -- Mojo "Raw scuzz-rock that sounds like PiL remixing The Birthday Party." -- DJ Magazine "That wonky charm, which Wrong Meeting 2 has in abundance, is a strong balance between lo-fi rhythms, beautifully real and organic groove drums, and moody bass lines. On top are addictive vocal lines as sinister as they are simple." -- Music-News.com (UK) Following on from the success of their last album, From the Double Gone Chapel, Two Lone Swordsmen return and the evolution of their sound continues. Generally credited with inventing indie dance through his work with Primal Scream, Flowered Up, and My Bloody Valentine, Andrew Weatherall pioneered the crossover between big electronic beats and equally big guitar chords--and his fondness for good old-fashioned rock `n' roll is celebrated on this release. Featuring elements of garage and rockabilly, but also the more familiar layer of electronica, Wrong Meeting 2 moves in a new direction. What is particularly striking about this album is Weatherall's growth in stature--not only as a singer and frontman, but also as a sharp wordsmith. Here, we find tales of love and rejection that rip open a seething underbelly of mistrust, tension, revenge, and redemption. Wrong Meeting 2 wears its influences on its sleeve while still sounding utterly contemporary. Once again, Two Lone Swordsmen have created an album that pushes the boundaries between musical genres and remains challenging to the listener.
