SOUND - From The Lion's Mouth LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition orange colour vinyl.
Highest recommendation.
Following The Sound's Jeopardy, From The Lion's Mouth is a contender for The Sound's best album. This album released a year later and has a 3 minute longer run time, yet feels much longer. It's got beautiful and dark synths constantly poking around, phenomenal bass, sharp guitar, the classic driving post-rock drums, and very personal and well constructed lyrics.
Adrian Borland was a genius. This second LP is brillant with poetic lyrics and fabulous guitar sound. Melancholic and ambient but it's not sad, just beautiful and ideal for dreaming.
In 1980 The Sound was the best post-punk band with Joy Division and Magazine. This record is amazing, emotions guaranteed at every listening.
