Los Angeles (Limited Edition) – Lol Tulhurst X Budgie X Jackknife Lee

Made up of two of the most illustrious and inventive drummers of the post-punk era, The Cure’s Lol Tolhurst, and Budgie from Siouxsie & The Banshees and The Creatures, along with stellar producer and multi-instrumentalist Garret ‘Jacknife’ Lee, this unlikely alt-supergroup have spent the last four years spiriting up one of the most extraordinary albums to appear in 2023. Guest include LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, Bobby Gillespie, The Edge and others.  This is a hard-hitting and compulsively exploratory 55-minute electronic, rhythmic expertise, fleshed out with an armory of synths, guitars (Jacknife’s forte) and supplementary percussion, often overlaid with elite-class strings and brass, then universally twisted, manipulated and quite masterfully sculpted by Lee, with his super-producer’s hat on.
