The Strange Death of Liberal England on Fantastic plastic


The Strange Death Of Liberal England
Angelou / Sacred to Death
Fantastic Plastic
Country of Origin: United Kingdom (UK)
Quantity Pressed: 500
Release Date: 14th Jul 2008

'Angelou' is the third single from TSDOL and on this latest release the high falsetto vocals from Adam Woolway seem like a departure from previous efforts. It's been engineered more prominently in the mix reminding me (in vocal only) of early At The Drive In, further distancing themselves from that Arcade Fire reference point. Overall it sounds highly produced and all noise gated, opposite from the organic ensemble yell along feel of their last single 'Oh Solitude'.

Who doesn't like that pause between washes of guitar? Where everything stops on a dime for a millisecond only to drop back in harder, leaving you just enough pause to reappreciate where this is headed. Combined with a frantic chanting chorus from all the other band members, it's definitely got that complex arrangement of math-pop that will keep you guessing as it's constantly changing.
