Lazy, Soft & Slow: Gold Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Optic Nerve
Release Date: 21st March

The House of Lovers frontman's 1998 solo album available on vinyl for the first time. It's one of those post being in a band, I can make records that sound like my favourite albums kind of LPs. In this case a little Velvets, a bit Neil Young and cool country lounging folk. 

First time on vinyl for Guy Chadwick’s solo album originally released in 1998 on Setanta records and produced by The Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie.

This limited (1000 copies worldwide) deluxe GOLD coloured vinyl reissue includes the 2 bonus tracks originally available on the Japanese CD release of the same year. 

The House of Love frontman Guy Chadwick’s debut is a gorgeous and seemingly effortless collection of breezy love songs. Robin Guthrie’s warm production serves these gentle songs wonderfully, and Guy’s backing musicians complement him masterfully (Guthrie also played bass on eight songs). 

Lazy, Soft & Slow should warm your soul for many Sunday mornings to come. This album is magic, and the title says everything about the music.

The critics at the time said this:

MOJO  –  ‘Velvet Underground inspired elegance – enchanting - unfathomable grace’
NME – ‘Its rich melodic luxury is enough to swim in - dark but elegant allure - unorthodox deep pile tunes’
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH  –  ‘Delectable  devotional love tunes -  a deliciously warm web of sound - A serene and dreamy album’
THE TIMES – ‘ Gorgeous pop songs  - A polished gem ‘
THE GUARDIAN  -  ‘A Little Beauty’
