<a href=\"http:\/\/forcefieldrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/yesterday\">‘Yesterday’ by Lugweight<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So fucking stoked to finally have these in hand and shipping. \u00a0They came out looking awesome. \u00a0Limited to 300 copies split between myself and\u00a0Circle Box Records. Lugweight’s ‘Yesterday’ was recorded in August and October 2015 in Richmond, VA by Ricky Olson at The Ward Recording Studio and mastered by Bryan Walthall at Stereo Image also in\u00a0Richmond, VA. \u00a0Below is a little more in depth look at the album as a whole.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>Gestated in the same Richmond, Virginia punk-metal underground (pizza parlor) as Cough, Inter Arma and Windhand, the now-Brooklyn-based LUGWEIGHT’s “YESTERDAY” LP traffics a similarly heavy and heady guitar drone LP of equal parts the instantly recognizable full-stack evil riff worship of EARTH’S 1993 iconic “EARTH 2”, while also channeling the noisy stereo-psychedelic loops and locked groove drones of Lee Ranaldo’s 1987 SST record “From Here To Infinity”. LUGWEIGHT’s reverberating 12-string electric guitar is instantly characteristically LUGWEIGHT in that disgustingly slow headbanging tradition of “Geometry of Murder” backed by loops of guitar-as-heavy repetitive chimes. Homemade fuzzboxes and cigarbox oscillators bring a fried drowsiness to the back of the skull appropriately enough in YESTERDAY’s “Sleeping on Cocaine”, which also recalls the pre-disco-beat era of former Joe Preston roommates Growing. that particularly darker full stack metallic ambient guitar duo. “Long Song for the Insane”, the record’s longest track features cough-syruppy sung vocals buried in the riff, recalling the sunstroke melodicism of My Bloody Valentine and Joe Preston’s singing in Thrones. The heavy tubed ripper tracks are complemented by an insane full color psychedelic artwork treatment by Richmond’s Joe Legzz.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1617 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.forcefieldrecords.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/vinyl-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"vinyl\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.forcefieldrecords.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/vinyl-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.forcefieldrecords.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/vinyl-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.forcefieldrecords.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/vinyl-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>‘Yesterday’ by Lugweight So fucking stoked to finally have these in hand and shipping. \u00a0They came out looking awesome. \u00a0Limited to 300 copies split between myself and\u00a0Circle Box Records.
