SWIT’s Long Player Of The Week: The Luxembourg Signal – Blue Field
The Luxembourg Signal – Blue Field (Shelflife Records/kleine untergrund schallplatten) The first 3 tracks on the new Luxembourg Signal LP are a serious statement of intent, “big-boned and hardy-handsome”, carefully crafted dark, sleek, indie pop – all jagged guitars, atmospherics and coolasfuck vocals.

Although now rightly lauded as one of the greatest albums of the eighties, on it’s release it got a mixed reception. Melody Maker said ” frivolity disguised by furrowed brows, a new brand of meaninglessness”. Charming. How wrong can you be?

SWIT’s Classic Albums: No. 1 – The Cure – Faith
The fog rolled in at the speed of sound. Lol was driving. The show in Harrogate had been so-so. Robert was sulking in the back. “We’re lost aren’t we Lol? We’re fucking lost again.” “It’s hard to tell in the fog Rob.” “Your drumming was shit. Total shit. We should just get a machine, like…
