Description:

Mexican duo Lorelle Meets The Obsolete return with their fourth album, Balance, which is released on September 16 via Captcha Records and Sonic Cathedral. Balance was recorded by the band at their home studio, before being mixed by Cooper Crain (Cave, Bitchin Bajas) at MINBAL in Chicago and mastered in Melbourne by Mikey Young (Total Control, Eddy Current Suppression Ring). The title track and opener blows away the layers of dusty psych from 2014s Chambers, the duos previous album, to reveal a sparse and spare sound, embellished with new wave keyboards that wouldnt sound out of place on one of the early Magazine albums; The Sound Of All Things is a mini-epic, opening with a two-and-a-half-minute soundscape, before roaring into life; La Distincin is a driving drone-rocker, not dissimilar to Whats Holding You? but with the addition of a surprisingly soulful chorus. Lorelle Meets The Obsolete count Robert Smith, Mani and Sonic Boom among their fans, but the most enthusiastic is Henry Rollins. Heres what he said about Balance It lives up to its name by achieving a balance between fuzz and clarity, nuance and throttle. The mix, which is incredible, utilises the brilliance of the component parts of each song, with a subtlety and dexterity that is not nearly as frequent in the albums that came before. It feels more like there was such an accumulation of captured dreams and their interpretation, that eventually it filled an album. Tracklisting 1. Balance 2. It Must Be The Only Way 3. Ching 4.
