Description
Library Music: Volume One is a sixteen track double LP collecting the North London drone pop bands 7 singles, one-offs and compilation tracks spanning the first 14 years of the groups existence. It includes synth pop, indie fuzz and moody motorik workouts, alongside pastoral folk sketches, dubby electronics and the occasional drone experiment. More immediate than their stretched out and slow-burning recent album tracks, the music here is taken from limited vinyl releases, album bonus tracks and music for compilations on labels as diverse as Bezirk Tapes, Second Language, Modern Aviation, and Concrete Tapes as well as the bands current home, Where Its At Is Where You Are. The compilation is a happily cohesive document of an inventive band that rarely stand still for long. The band says, We wanted to gather all our early, scattered work before we move on to our next album, to remind ourselves (and others) of some of the poppier and less characteristic things weve done. Weve always felt a lot more relaxed and freer making one off things for people its a chance to try things that might otherwise be daunting on a full record. Always a prolific group this is by no means an exhaustive collection, the title giving a clue to how much more they have left to share. We have been introduced to loads of bands that we love initially through non-album compilations Broadcast, The Chills, Stereolab, Piano Magic, Flying Saucer Attack amongst others we wanted to add our own to that (admittedly slightly daunting) lineage.
