For a band with their history and esteem within the local scene, this means there were a lot of guitars being passed around. We called every friend of ours who had a cool guitar and borrowed what we could. The result is an album brimming with sounds and tones and new details surfacing with subsequent listenings.
Love Battery have the ears and the sense.
Love Battery write songs. Their three Sub Pop albums, however, were rather uneven, with a wall of sound tending to wash over the melodies. Whether it made it on to our past records or not is a different matter. This band has been on the road so much that we never had the chance to stretch out and record the way we wanted to. We finally had the chance to take some time and evolve.
