jhulud Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 For “I.V.” the band’s Deathwish debut, Loma Prieta once again worked with longtime collaborator Jack Shirley (Atomic Garden Studio). With his guidance Loma Prieta tracked to tape 12 songs intensely emotional songs. Written during a time of great personal suffering and transition for the band "I.V." is the creative culmination of those collective experiences. From the opening breath of “Fly by Night”, Loma Prieta crash and bang melody and discord together into one beautiful work of art. This grinding theme continues throughout "I.V." in stunning songs like the aptly named three parter "Trilogy 4, 5, and 6". Creating a powerful and unpredictable ebb and flow to their emotional outpouring. As the dust settles on the distorted haze in closer "Diamond Tooth", an artistic coherency and clarity emerges that can only be described as Loma Prieta. A new kind of melancholy chaos that should be familiar, yet challenging, to those who enjoy bands like Love Lost But Not Forgotten, Pg. 99, La Quiete, and the ilk. TRACK LISTING: 01. Fly By Night 02. Torn Portrait 03. Reproductive 04. Trilogy 4 "Momentary" 05. Trilogy 5 "Half Cross" 06. Trilogy 6 "Forgetting" 07. 08. Uniform 09. Uselessness 10. Aside From this Distant Shadow, There is Nothing Left 11. Biography 12.

dangerben Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I never thought I'd say living in Australia would have its benefits, but I've already got a copy of the new Loma album. Stoked that they are on tour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
