Two Lone Swordsmen - Wrong Meeting II - CD
KEITH TENNISWOOD AND ANDREW WEATHERALL AKA TWO LONE SWORDSMEN NINE NEW TRACKS FROM THE TWO LONE SWORDMEN ON THEIR SECOND ALBUM OF 2007 (WRONG MEETING I WAS A MAILORDER, VINYL ONLY RELEASE!); ELEMENTS OF GARAGE AND ROCKABILLY MIXED IN WITH THE MORE FAMILIAR LAYERS OF ELECTRONICA THIS ALBUM BOTH PROMISES AND DELIVERS A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION. WEATHERALL ARGUES THAT ROCK N ROLL IS A LOT MORE FUTURISTIC IN ITS WAY THAN MOST ELECTRONIC MUSIC AT THE MOMENT. "GO TO THE PAST, BUT LOOK TO THE FUTURE, DON'T GET BOGGED DOWN IN THE PRESENT. IT'S ABOUT DISTILLING THE ESSENCE, BE IT FROM THE 50S OR THE PRESENT DAY." WRONG MEETING WEARS ITS INFLUENCES ON ITS SLEEVE WHILE SOUNDING UTTERLY CONTEMPORARY. ONCE AGAIN TLS HAS CREATED AN ALBUM THAT LOOKS TO PUSH BOUNDARIES BETWEEN MUSICAL GENRES AND REMAIN CHALLENGING TO THE LISTENER.
MOJO 4/5 "SUPERB, ATTITUDE-HEAVY TRACKS DRIVEN ALONG BY RATTLING DRUMS, FINE PERCUSSION AND JOY DIVISION BASSLINES, SHOWCASING WEATHERALL'S EXCELLENT VOICE AND FIRST-CLASS LYRICS."
DJ 4/5 "RAW SCUZZ-ROCK THAT SOUNDS LIKE PIL REMIXING THE BIRTHDAY PARTY."
