Product Overview
The Lounge Society - Silk For The Starving Ep (Vinyl) New post-punk teenagers and latest Speedy Wunderground singings The Lounge Society hail from in and around the Pennine towns of Hebden Bridge and Todmorden in the Calder Valley of West Yorkshire. Like any musical movement worth its salt, itÙs not one that the bands themselves might willingly admit to being a part of, yet there must be something in the water. For while their contemporaries deal in jangle pop and contemporary rave, The Lounge Society Ó who met at their local high school in nearby Mytholmroyd (otherwise famous as the birth-place of poet Ted Hughes) - explore something more raucous. ItÙs a sound shot through with the adrenalized and undeniable youthful surges that informed both proto- and post-punk, with The Velvet Underground, Talking Heads and Fat White Family cited as shared influences. On their debut EP Silk For The Starving thereÙs a rawness which belies a self-assured songwriting slickness that is almost alarming for four teenagers. TRACKLISTING 12IN - SIDE A 1.
