David Lance Callahan - Strange Lovers

Over the course of his 30+ year career, David Callahan has charted a distinct course. From the angular pop of The Wolfhounds to the experimental post/art rock of Moonshake and back to the sharper-than-ever recently reformed Wolfhounds, Callahan is always known for smart, unsparing lyrics, a fierce DIY ethic and an ever-inquisitive sonic adventurism. Now for Slumberland's SLR30 Singles Series Callahan is set to release his first official solo recordings. Minimally recorded at home with an acoustic guitar, sampler, glockenspiel and a couple of friends guesting on harmonies, the double A-side cuts of ""Strange Lovers"" and ""Waiting For The Cut-Off"" reveal a subtler, though still intense, side to his songwriting. Despite the new simplicity of the arrangements, the new songs sound just as original as any of his previous work. This 7"" looks a treat as well, arriving bedecked in a full-colour painting by Florida artist Sean Mahan.A: Strange LoversAA: Waiting For The Cut-Off
