Just got this super awesome Spectrals 7" courtesy of ultra hip brooklyn label Captured Tracks. It's recorded by the oh so mysterious L. (who is this masked man?) 'Leave me be' is an immaculate piece of music ideal for the current climate of Spectorisms, Beach Boys worship and shoegazery. Reverb saturated production does it's best to obscure what is essentially a infectious little do-wop pop song. B-side 'Suit yourself' is wonkier yet equally as appealing with it's catchy guitar lines and it's distant, almost indecipherable vocal line. Comparisons to retro fetishes Crystal stilts, Vivian girls, Ganglians, Real Estate and Sic Alps are totally fair and justified. This is mint!!!A young British man named L. single handedly produced this dreamy, Sonic Flower Groovy fuzz-pop stomper, although it sounds like it could have been recorded at Gold Star in 1965 for release on Creation in 1985. Two tracks, one million hooks. We're really proud to be putting this out in anticipation of a 2010 Captured Tracks LP.
