Love Life
Jagjaguwar Records
Love Life is a band featuring a bunch of old hands at sputtering, lurching manic-depressive rock. These include bassist Anthony "Scott" Malat, who previously served with Convocation Of... leader Tonie Joy in Universal Order Of
Armageddon and Great Unraveling, vocalist Katrina Ford and guitarist Sean Antanaitis, formerly of the goth, noise-rock crazies Jaks, and drummer Dave Bergander. With the new
project, these musicians slow down the chaos
slightly, elongating their compositions and filling
them with loping bass lines, incisive needling
guitars, runaway keyboards, and tortured vocal
moans and shrieks. It sounds a bit like carnival
music from hell. If you kidnapped Nick Cave, fed
him
Quaaludes, and put him up on stage with a drunk
VSS, it might sound sort of like this. Sort of. Love Life's first album, The Rose He Lied by, appeared in early 2001. Their second album, Here Is Night, Brothers, Here The Birds Burn, hit the streets in July 2002.
