Lonelady's new single is pretty good. 'Intuition' starts with a guitar riff and simple drumbeat that wouldnt sound amiss on an early B-52s album. Then the 'Lonesters voice creeps in and the rest is history. The production sounds good and the song is fairly straightforward. The B-side is my favourite of the two on this Warp 7". A downbeat experimental track that bubbles along in a Scout Niblett type of way. An instantly catchy single...

LoneLady’s captivating second single on limited 7”, backed with a The Fall cover.
Julie Campbell aka LoneLady releases a new single called ‘Intuition’, taken from her forthcoming debut album on Warp Records, ‘Nerve Up’.
A further example of her sparse, urgent delivery and brittle distinctive vocals, ‘Intuition’ is backed with a cover of The Fall’s ‘Hotel Bloedel’ (titled ‘Bloedel’ on this release), where decayed chords, archaic violins, Brix Smith’s hypnotized singing and Mark E Smith’s SS stories are re-imagined as a procession, chanting in black and white.
Selected copies of the 7” single will contain one of a series of postcards revealing images of a 20th century Manchester, courtesy of the Manchester Modernist Society, which investigates and celebrates the city past, present and future.
