I need a drink... Where's my beaker. I spend half my working day
looking for my beaker. It's like the fucking Bermuda triangle I swear.
Drinking vessels just seem to vanish into thin air, never to return. As
I seek the vessel that will contain my forthcoming H2O liquid
refreshment we play the Let's Wrestle 'In The Court Of The Wrestling
Let's' CD on Stolen Recordings. Now I do recall an EP they did for the
label and this is quite different. The tunes were fast and tight and
here they seem to have loosened up (I.E. got sloppy) with it being more
sluggish jangle-pop than buzzsaw indie rock. I don't think it's going
down particularly well in the office. Brian just used an expletive and
he really liked the aforementioned EP. If you wanna hear songs about
going to the charity shop, or the jobcentre and turning on the kettle
then this may appeal. I reckon the lyrics are trying a bit too hard to
deal with the mundane. Incidentally don't try turning the kettle on by
kissing it because you'll burn your lips. Hey Phil thinks if you like
The Wave Pictures then you might well like this. Hey check out my
effortless mundane lyrics " I'm wearing two socks and yesterday I ate
some crisps, the packet had a barcode on, tonight I'm going to bed.
Argos is dead".
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Following the glorious gold single ‘Let’s Wrestle’ and the EP ‘In Loving Memory Of…’, Let’s Wrestle return with their debut album, recorded in a whirlwind under the only ukulele shop in Europe.
· Let’s Wrestle have recently returned from two weeks in America touring with Black Lips and Pains of Being Pure At Heart, after six shows at SXSW. · “...at the centre of this band beats a heart of pure unadulterated scuzzy art-pop genius” – NME, “like The Buzzcocks running down the street with their pants round their ankles.. brilliant, addictive, hopelessly lovely and endlessly fascinating.” – Drownedinsound, “'I Won't Lie To You’ is so life affirming shambolic, it sounds like they actually split up realise they can't live without each other and decide to make another go of it somewhere in the middle.” – Uncut, “Slightly shambolic purveyors of some of the wittiest, brightest pop around today.” – Marc Riley. · Press – Reviews in The Fly, NME.
