The Love Coffin – Cloudlands LP

After two promising 12″ EPs, ‘Veranda’ (2015) and ‘Buffalo Thunder’ (2016), here’s the debut album by the Copenhagen-based rock quintet The Love Coffin. The Love Coffin’s sound is a mix of particularly the unforgiving, magmatic squall of the New York noise rock scene of the ’80s, the sepia-dusted, grimy wide-screen perspective from the post-punk that came out of Australia in the same era and with, last, but not least, a knack for burying lush pop hooks under a rough-hewn bedrock of ugly guitars, Trojan horse-style, not unlike the pioneers of British shoegaze did it.
