Crowd Can Talk/Dressed In Trenches Lifeguard SKU: OLE1953T Barcode: 0191401195317 17.00 £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Matador Released Date: 7th July 2023 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Formed in 2019, Lifeguard are Asher Case (bass, vocals), Isaac Lowenstein (drums, percussion), and Kai Slater (guitar, vocals). At their core, Lifeguard are a punk band. Their music is loud and energetic. They’re also, at their core, visceral and hypnotic. For the Chicago-based trio that can include repetition and blasts of speaker cone-shredding feedback. Their songs adeptly balance melody and chaos, rhythm and drone. Hooks and noise are held to the same standard. Both have to stick. They’re a young band, but they’ve already found a place at the forefront of an important emerging music community in their hometown. They are quite prolific. In just three years, Lifeguard have put out a full-length, two EPs, and two 7” singles. Matador Records release ‘Crowd Can Talk/Dressed In Trenches’, a composite of two EPs by Lifeguard. ‘Crowd Can Talk’ was originally released in the summer of 2022 by Chicago label Born Yesterday, while ‘Dressed In Trenches’ features five brand new and unreleased songs. ‘Crowd Can Talk/Dressed in Trenches’ is being made available to independent retailers on vinyl (for the first time) and CD. ‘Crowd Can Talk’ and ‘Dressed In Trenches’ are closely related. They were recorded in separate sessions, but at the same studio (Electrical Audio), with the same engineer (Mike Lust), and within the space of 12 months. Each finds the band refining their voice – honing songs that are succinct, hooky and propulsive. There’s a newly disciplined attention to detail. Lifeguard write together through collaboration and improvisation, but they’ve learned to streamline their sound, to make each hook, beat, and gesture purposeful. On each record, there are echoes of underground guitar bands from decades past. This is not record-collector music, though. It’s the product of a present- day community. Lifeguard are, first and foremost, a performing band and the songs are written to stand up in that moment. “More than old records – before that, before anything – we’re influenced by live shows and people around us,” explains Slater. “The inspiration comes from playing shows with people and having that mind-blown moment of seeing some friend play at Schubas or Book Club,” adds Lowenstein. “It’s happening on these tiny little scales of seeing kids play live and [knowing] this is something new and interesting.” Artist Lifeguard Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Matador Buying
