THE MANHATTAN LOVE SUICIDES - CLUSTERF**K

A new video and a limited 7" single from The Manhattan Love Suicides with the a-side "Clusterfuck" as well as 3 others. It is on the band's own label Squirrel Records and here are their own words to describe it. The Manhattan Love Suicides just keep getting better. Their latest 7" on this very label is the roughest one of the bunch so far. Recorded with the needles in the red and without too much polish, but still keeping the pop elements that make them what they are. "Clusterfuck" will be familiar to anyone who has ever seen the band play live, "Detroit Diesel" is three minutes of My Bloody Valentine inspired noise, "Burning Wire" doesn't even hit the 2 minute mark and is raw sounding pop at its best, and finally "Heat And Panic" is rough, noisy, sweet and abrasive all at the same time. It could even be "Sister Ray" condensed into three and a half minutes.
As usual, this single is limited edition, so get your order in before they've gone for good." A generel warning as the video is pretty gruesome. These songs will also appear on a cd compilation due out later this summer on Magic Marker.
