Laymar
will be releasing their debut album In Strange Lines
And Distances on June 23rd through Shelback/Pinnacle
and digitally on June 22nd through Pinnacle digital.
A
tremor of bass and a synth sound that send shivers down
your neck, like the desolate New Order in that
interlude between the end of Joy Division and
the dawning of their disco age.MANCHESTERMUSIC.COM
Tripped-out,
lysergic sonic odysseys which are part Mogwai, part
(early) Verve, part Dolby Surround soundtrack to your
worst nightmare... they summon up a vertigo-inducing
wall of noise. It's music which is brimming with nerve-shredding
tension and fury, but - like Ian Curtis in triplicate
all on stage at once - it's also eerily spellbinding.
MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
... like Mogwai playing a set of instrumental
Joy Division cover versions. Excellent. ANGRY
LEFT WING MOFO
a
monolithic apex of spine-tingling sound to tear the
breath from your lungs and the words from your mouth.
ANGRYAPE
Weird
noises. Slow burning synths. The churning
bleakness of mid-80s Cure. Its the
perfect soundtrack for an alien abduction GIGWISE
compelled
and compelling... like a more troubled 65daysofstatic
shot through with windswept melancholy. MANCHESTERMUSIC.COM
Imagine
taunting and berating Sigur Ros till the frustration
and hostility of Masssive Attack emerged from
their delicate soundscapes and youre someway to
making sense of Laymar. GIGWISE
Single
of the Month.
It's all taut, wired, sparky and spunky stuff, more
hooks than a fleet of long-liners, real melodies, powerful
and well constructed songs that are as brainy as they
are brawny. This is more like an album from a big name
outfit than a demo from a gang of lads. UNPEELED
