The Lovetones - Axiom

The Lovetones released their debut album ‘Be What You Want’ in 2002 through Bomp! Records, creating a palpable buzz amongst critics from the likes of Creem and Rolling Stone magazine. The latter hailed main man Matthew J Tow’s songwriting worthy of Ray Davies, Bowie, Lennon & McCartney…After enjoying the critical success of ‘Be What You Want’, touring Australia extensively and even supporting Morrissey during his first ever solo Australian tour, Tow joined the Brian Jonestown Massacre in 2003 and contributed two brilliant tracks to their sonic mastery ‘And This Is Our Music’. Tow’s opening track ‘Starcleaner’ later also appeared on the BJM retrospective ‘Tepid Peppermint Wonderland’. The second album ‘Meditations’ was released through New York’s Tee Pee Records in late 2005, revealing a stunning development in Tow’s songwriting and providing a sound-scape of radiant pop, ethereal Psychedelia and truly remarkable vocal melodies that arched for the stars. Soulful and sincere, ’Meditations’ nodded gently and respectfully to the pop masters of the sixties whilst never lacking in original vision. The Lovetones also managed to record their third album ‘Axiom’ during 2006 with fervent sessions split between Figment Studios in Hollywood and the Sydney Opera House Recording Studio. The new album, rich with accomplished instrumentation and out-there dreamscapes, soaring melodies and lyrics filled with longing, introspection and extrospection is out on Tee Pee Records. It’s time to move on to the next level of the psychedelic revolution…
