Lovvers: "Near Enough For Jazz" (Jonson Family) A bit of a post-hardcore skronk out that comes across a little grungy with a melodic breakdown towards the end that turns into some thirties jazz interlude. If we gave a prize for sleeve art work this would win hands down, with it's woodblock style print harking back to the sort of colours and shapes used for Scandinavian cartoons I used to watch as a kid, yeah like the Moomins. Mr Phil wouldn't go near this cos' it's got JAZZ in the title. Oh yeah ...anyone know how Lovvers is pronounced?

What their label says...
Second single from Lovvers. The debut, released in April, sold out in weeks. Vice magazine gave it 9/10; “Like Antioch Arrow on bad ecstasy”. Drowned In Sound gave it 9/10; “a band channelling their most-pissed fuckin’ fuck you emotions into music and capturing, accidentally or otherwise, something strikingly special”. Formed a little over a year ago in Nottingham, LOVVERS is a group of passionate individuals, loud and honest they portray a form of musical reality often associated with the early 80’s or mid 90’s US acts, many of which were found on the labels SST and SUB POP. Their sound is a chaotic mixture of fractured guitar and mangled vocals, that some how regroups to form a very clear structure.
