Lifter - Clasping Hands With The Moribund
PRE ORDER - RELEASE DATE JANUARY 17TH. ORDERS WILL SHIP AFTER THE 17TH.
Things Happen Here presents the vinyl version of the brilliant debut album from Bristol lo-fi indie/folk band Lifter, ‘Clasping Hands With The Moribund’.
Previously self released by the band as a CD and digital release, ‘Clasping Hands…’ marks an introduction to the various styles the band have strived to incorporate into their sound over the eight singles they released prior to recording the album.
On ‘Clasping Hands…’ the band take musical cues from a diverse range of sources including slowcore, folk, country and indie rock. A handful of influences on the albums intricate and pastoral sound would include The American Analogue Set, Nick Drake, XTC, Guided By Voices and Bill Callahan.
The original CD release of the album received great reviews and resulted in festival appearances, UK dates and a European tour. When we heard the album we immediately offered to release it for a new audience to discover on vinyl-it's fantastic!
FFO Fleet Foxes, Smog, Bonnie Prince Billy and all of the above.
