The Tillmanns are back with their brand new debut album! After 2 cracking 7"'s here's the full lengther to be enjoyed over a nice cup of tea and possibly some sort of biscuit. Maybe I should remove the possibly from that sentence? After 2 cracking 7"'s here's the full lengther to be enjoyed over a nice cup of tea and some sort of biscuit. Yes that's better. Biscuits rule and there's no need for vagueness when they're biscuits around.... On this album there's 10 fiery biscuits to choose from and they're all great. It's a great debut actually and what Brian said about their 1st single sums this up perfectly.... It is Sarah Records and New Order combined together to create some sort of new indie hybrid monster ready to gnarl through your speakers and make you spill your tea over those new pants you bought. Those indie folks really don't care about your new pants. A Careless Lifestyle is CD only and worth a punt.... It doesn't sound like it was made recently...... it does sound about 20 years old. noice.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
After two 7” singles it’s finally time for the Göteborg duo Tillmanns first album, and “A Careless Lifestyle“ is a much longed-for debut CD. Because many of us have missed the sound of winding, ethereal guitars and sweeping, synthetic layers over minimalistic beats. The sound is well-known from a golden era when labels such as Sarah Records and Factory spread little grains of gold like The Wake, New Order, The Durutti Column, Stockholm Monsters and The Field Mice.
But, there’s another thread that through the North Sea connects the Northern Britain with our West Coast: the eternal lashing of rain at bus stops, on windscreens and window-ledges. And the light after the rain: the shimmering, but with a darker undertone. The art of balancing those contrasts - maybe this is what seizes us and sends us into a soft hypnosis, that actually can make us long for the autumn to burst into splendid colours: yellow, orange, red....
