Lol Tolhurst x Budgie x Jacknife Lee\u00a0have announced a run of U.S. dates in support of their critically acclaimed debut album,\u00a0\u2018Los Angeles\u2019\u00a0which is out now via\u00a0Play It Again Sam. The live project, made up of Lol and Budgie on percussion, will be opening for\u00a0Miki Berenyi Trio\u00a0on their U.S. tour, as well as performing a debut headline performance at\u00a0The Casbah, San Diego\u00a0and at this year\u2019s\u00a0Cruel World Festival\u00a0(featuring special guests).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album\u2019s 13 tracks dive into freedom and slavery, beauty and decay, hope and despair, and feature an astonishing list of guest vocalists and musicians \u2013 The Edge (U2), Civil Rights avant-garde artist Lonnie Holley, Mary Lattimore, and more. The group and album have been featured with the likes of Pitchfork<\/a>, SPIN<\/a>, BrooklynVegan, Consequence, FLOOD Magazine<\/a>, Modern Drummer, Salon<\/a>, Stereogum, Surface Magazine<\/a>, Yahoo! Entertainment, Under the Radar Magazine and much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen to\u00a0\u2018Los Angeles\u2019\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tour<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The trio have released a run of poignant videos for the campaign; Los Angeles<\/a><\/em> featuring LCD Soundsystem\u2019s James Murphy, Ghosted At Home<\/em><\/a> featuring Primal Scream\u2019s Bobby Gillespie, and We Got To Move<\/em><\/a> featuring Modest Mouse\u2019s Isaac Brock with comedian \/ actor \/ musician Fred Armisen making a cameo in the video. Most recently, they released the Michael Frost-directed video for album highlight\u00a0Uh Oh<\/em><\/a> featuring guest vocals from Starcrawler\u2019s Arrow de Wilde and guitar from IDLES\u2019 Mark Bowen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-way\u00a0\u2018Los Angeles\u2019 collaborative long-player was born out of a curiosity which just wouldn\u2019t die. Made up of two of the most illustrious and inventive drummers of the post-punk era, The Cure\u2019s Lol Tolhurst, and Budgie from Siouxsie & The Banshees and The Creatures, along with stellar producer and multi-instrumentalist Garret \u2018Jacknife\u2019 Lee, this unlikely alt-supergroup have spent the last four years spiriting up one of the most extraordinary albums to appear in recent times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perusing the tracklist, with its guest credits for, amongst others, James Murphy, Bobby Gillespie, The Edge, Civil Rights avant-gardist Lonnie Holley, Mary Lattimore, Starcrawler wildchild Arrow de Wilde and Mark Bowen from IDLES, you may rightly wonder just what the 13-track long-player holds in store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer: a hard-hitting and compulsively exploratory 55-minute electronic headfuck, founded on unrivaled rhythmic expertise, fleshed out with an armory of synths, guitars (Jacknife\u2019s fort\u00e9) and supplementary percussion, often overlaid with elite-class strings and brass, then universally twisted, manipulated and quite masterfully sculpted by Lee, with his super-producer\u2019s hat on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per the title,\u00a0\u2018Los Angeles\u2019\u00a0is a journey into the dark heart of contemporary LaLaLand, the city of its birth, a place of limitless possibility, yet also a diseased and consumptive hell-on-earth which, to quote Murphy\u2019s lyric on the title track, \u201ceats its children,\u201d where pipe dreams shatter, racial inequality prevails and homelessness spirals. Throw in the terrifying uncertainty occasioned by the global pandemic, which both interrupted and ultimately aided its genesis, and the \u2018new Cold War\u2019 terror that has ensued, and you get a record fueled by fear and tension, but whose propulsive beats, mind-warpingly mangled instrumentation and exceptional vocal contributions provide release through the palpable joy of their creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
