      Yeah. The harmonies work will. I did think that maybe Anna was hidden somewhere out of sight.

    Nice. The black and white works well. Fringe Runner's one of my favourites, and R41 sounds very Leonard Cohen.
    Looking forward to seeing these guys for the first time soon.

    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  4 месяца назад +3

      🙏 yes, the lighting was a challenge, and the black and white helps with that, plus it suits the material, particularly R41 Cohenesque aesthetic. Hopefully we’ll get Nathan back to set off the synth stabs again for FR. where are you seeing them?

      @@LouSmith Very well thanks. It's a bit of a grower. Not as immediate as the first 3 albums, but some interesting tracks. Gotta say it, but Saul is a miss. He added that extra frisson of depravity and weirdness 😂

    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  4 месяца назад +2

      @@chrisstronach5495 Same. They did have an album recorded from when Saul was still with them, but by all accounts it was an impenetrable drone landscape on one side with no lyrics, which had to be entirely rethought post him leaving. Nathan stepped up into the vacuum, donating a bunch of his songs into the mix, then a couple of re hashed Covid era acoustic numbers, so I guess it’s quite a mongrel of an album really. Religion for one, or R41 as has been already coined is one of my favourites.

    Cheers for this, Lou! Will see them for the first time in Leeds in June. How long do they usually play for? I know most bands play for about 1 hour 30 but I keep seeing only 1 hour long gigs for fwf. I thought you would be the person to ask!

    • @LouSmith

      I’d say likely somewhere in between. I’ve not seen them encore. Lias puts in a pretty hardcore amount of effort, so an hour and a half may be pushing it.
