A splatter of raw, rambling fractured blues rock, the Lord’s
This Ain’t a Hate Thing, It’s a Love Thing offers up some fine bourbon swilling fun.
Lords play a mixture of ’90s alternative blues sounds such as Come and Red Red Meat combined with a Fall-esque take on Cream style jams, with David Yow vocal styles smothered on top. There is a fine narcotic drawl on some tracks as well but instead of stoner sloth, Lords usually suddenly explode from slow into rabid at the drop of a hat, as on the explosive twitch of
My Sweetheart the Horse.
Sometimes technical, sometimes as sloppy as hell,
This Ain’t a Hate Thing, It’s a Love Thing is a testament that you can still get challenging, raw music in a stale era such as 2006.
On tour throughout England through April, Lords release
This Ain’t a Hate Thing, It’s a Love Thing on April the 17th on CD and vinyl via
