will You reveal to us, the succes of that superb composition?

"I would say... U backing again..." After long long time like dead then sudden memories back...

This song is great. It reminds me a lot of another great song, 'Forget not yet' by American gospel.

The debut single from Western Lows, taken from their forthcoming album Glacial, out on Highline Records in the UK and Europe on September 9th, 2013.

“We heard something on the radio about Liu Bei, a Chinese warlord who was known as an amazing strategist and a really caring, benevolent leader. He was also eight feet tall and had ears so big he could see them. Seemed like something to aspire to.”

Liu Bei (“Lou Bay”) explains frontman Richard, was born out of a desire to move away from years of solo acoustic songwriting and embark on something entirely new. In August 2013, on the brink of retiring from live music and concentrating fully on an already successful career writing music for TV shows and ads, Richard embarked on a collaborative project with a few friends which eventually led to the full formation of a band.  After falling in love all over again with the likes of Slowdive, Ride and Mazzy Star, he felt an urge to create something epic and timeless. 

The first song to come was Infatuation – a shimmering, reverb soaked lament charting “how dedication and unconditional love can so quickly turn into something dark and sharp toothed, an aggressive obsession.” You can hear the life cycle of the band within - it retains the reflective, introverted character of its early acoustic form, but builds those raw emotions into something more panoramic, a wash of delayed guitar and building drums reminiscent of the Cocteau Twins. 

The accompanying video - a compact cinematic epic - was created by London-based filmmaker Jake Dypka, who upon hearing an early demo of the song knew he had to be involved: “Jake heard Infatuation and said it transported him to his adolescence – to that time and place where every teenage crush eats you alive. He wanted to shoot something that conveyed that – in the end we actually went to the town where he grew up, we even filmed in his childhood home.”

Infatuation was recorded and mixed by James Kenosha (Pulled Apart By Horses, Rhodes, Dancing Years) at The Lodge studio in East Yorkshire during the first days of 2014.

The Rope (Radio Mix)

Recorded, produced and mixed by Dougal Lott & Simon Byrt. Featured on  The Royals on E!

Wait, nothing feels the same
Nothing feels like you do
Messing with my brain
Wait, can we do this better
Can we do this right
Held up in the harshest light

Are we far out
Or just gazing at the pictures
with the lights turned out
Its a delicate thing
Like a note uninterrupted 
We could leave it ring
We could leave it ring out

Wait, it's gnawing at my heart
Tearing at my confidence
Pulling it apart
Wait cos I can do this better
Now I know you more
Oh let's try a little more

Are we far out
Always gazing at the pictures
with the lights turned out
It's a delicate thing
Like a note uninterrupted
We could leave it ring
We could leave it ring out

Wait I can feel the pain
Bubble to the surface then trickle down again

Wait
