What the label says:

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.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
