Permanent Sleep and Rain

描述

LTM are pleased to announce the second release in our CD reissue program by cult Scottish dream-pop band Lowlife, who released a string of acclaimed albums between 1985 and 1995. Lowlife were formed in Grangemouth 1985 when original Cocteau Twins bassist Will Heggie joined former Dead Neighbours members Craig Lorentsen, Grant McDowell and Stuart Everest. Their atmospheric, moody soundscapes were often compared to Joy Division, New Order, Comsat Angels and - yes - the Cocteau Twins, yet the band received widespread acclaim over the course of six albums released through indie label Nightshift. Permanent Sleep + Rain combines the six track mini album Rain (released in 1985) with all eight tracks from debut album proper Permanent Sleep from 1986, as well as extra track from Side to Side (original mix) from the 1986 EP Vain Delights. Permanent Sleep + Rain has been carefully digitally re-mastered from the original master tapes, and features 15 tracks.
