The Manhattan Love Suicides - The Manhattan Love Suicides

The Manhattan Love Suicides have only been together for just over a year , but already they have recorded this debut album which was released on CD only at the end of 2006 on U.S based Magic Marker Records (Tullycraft , BOAT , The Softies etc...) Now , Squirrel Records are releasing the album on vinyl featuring 2 exclusive bonus tracks.So , that's 14 lo-fi fuzzed up female fronted pop / noise nuggets that recall the likes of early Jesus And Mary Chain , The Shop Assistants , Galaxie 500  and My Bloody Valentine, with even a bit of Sonic Youth mimimalism and Velvet Underground inspired drones aswell. No frills , 3 chords wonderful pop with the amps turned up to maximum volume , The Manhattan Love Suicides have been receiving lots of attention (especially in the U.S) and have recently played the SXSW Festival in Austin , Texas followed by a handful of shows in New York and Washington DC , before returning home to the UK to headline at The Luminaire in London.They're picking up a reputation for loud , short , sharp , feedback heavy gigs that rarely last longer than 20 minutes.Their philosophy is simply "hit and run". With a 7 inch single release coming soon on Magic Marker to co-incide with the vinyl version of the LP , plus a number of upcoming live shows , further single releases throughout the rest of 2007, promo video shoots , and the 2nd album currently in the writing stages , The Manhattan Love Suicides definitely won't be taking it easy any time soon.
