Life Without Buildings, the beloved Glaswegian art-rock band, broke up in 2002 after the discharge of their sole, traditional album, Any Other City.

Now, the studio recording is getting its first broad launch.

Guitarist Robert Dallas Grey explains in press supplies how “Love Trinity” has “taken on extra significance over time, as a result of it appears like a swansong.” He writes:

It’s good to mark ‘Love Trinity,’ as a tune—it’s at all times felt prefer it slipped by means of the cracks a bit. It was the final tune we recorded, one of many final we wrote. We recorded it as a one-off single for Trifekta Information in Australia, to advertise the tour we have been going to do there. I feel it felt fairly completely different from the opposite stuff; it got here out of Chris’s bassline (which numerous issues did), and it had the delay impact on the guitar, and the form of large guitar solo. There’s even a component the place Sue’s vocals are multi-tracked—so whereas all of the earlier stuff had intentionally been very dry and reside sounding, it was extra of a form of atmospheric factor. I don’t assume it was anybody’s favorite on the time, however lots of people we knew beloved it and mentioned it was the perfect factor we’d executed. For me it’s taken on extra significance over time, as a result of it appears like a swansong, I assume.
