Release Notes:
London trio LetÆs Wrestle have announced details of their new album
æNursing HomeÆ. Their second album is set for release on the 16th May
via Full Time Hobby.
æNursing HomeÆ was recorded in Chicago last year with Steve Albini.
With themes that include being trapped in the suburbs and dancing boys
on drugs, the band show that their fantastically offbeat view of the
world is the same, theyÆve just put on some darker sunglasses. LetÆs
Wrestle may have lost some of their naivety lyrically, but itÆs
certainly still there.
If you ask singer Wesley Patrick Gonzalez what the record sounds like
heÆll tell you Thin Lizzy and The Cars, which to some extent is true.
It certainly is heavier than its predecessor û a result, no doubt, of
AlbiniÆs engineering û but the bandÆs unerring ear for an infectious
chorus and nagging melody displayed previously remains, as shown on
breezy, tearaway numbers such as æIf I Keep On Loving YouÆ and æBad
MamoriesÆ. Conversely, the quiet songs on the album are quite possibly
the most poignant the band have recorded to date, as on the broken
hearted æI Am UsefulÆ, or the strangely affecting æFor My MotherÆ, in
which Gonzalez sings, ôbut now sheÆs gone/ my motherÆs sad but IÆll
take care of herö.
All up, LetÆs Wrestle have grown up and reckon theyÆre heavier and
depressed but are still laughing on the inside. They are still making
some of the most exciting and electrifying songs around, but with the
wit and noise sharpened to a knife-edge, the emotion more pronounced
and heart-rending. And this collection of songs is undoubtedly their
finest to date.
