LP version. " 'This record is an encapsulation. The omnipresent fear and anger. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? And what is really going on? Consternation... today... There is difficulty, frustration, strain and a large snake. You can feel the pressure of it breathing on the streets, in media, and in your lunch. This s/t, by The C.I.A., is an urgent musical notice. I feel it immediately. The pointed vocal cadence and lyrics of Denée Segal is a sharp scythe, and the actual time is... now. I feel the same distress call and disposition from Crass records like Penis Envy or DIRT. In fact, if you took that, mixed in 'Black Silk Stocking' by Chrisma and a touch of early Nic Endo (Atari Teenage Riot) and even Dinah Cancer (45 Grave) Autopsy era, you can get a feeling. And, similarly to those mentioned, Denée is putting a time stamp on this time. The spirit and her viability is strong in many a corner, and in many a heart. The alarm is ringing. "This is survival sound, put on record well backed by Ty Segall and Emmett Kelly, who have added anything-must-happen, mercurial, constantly moving instrumentation. The sounds, consistent with unique monochrome, move like an engine, made gas-tight by piston rings. Sonic rings moving in tight machine patterns. And at the vocal helm is Denée, steering this machine in vocal directions across an exclamation point motorway. No salt, all salt. Traction and reaction. They built a sound machine with, and for each other. Survival sound lifts its head up when it needs to. Thankfully it gets put on record and released when it needs to.' --Tim Presley"

LP version. Includes CD. Former Creation Records act Hurricane#1 are back! After battling cancer, frontman Alex Lowe has emerged triumphant and resurrected his old band for their first album in 16 years, following 1999's Only the Strongest Will Survive. The original line up included ex-Ride guitarist and vocalist Andy Bell, Alex Lowe (vocals and guitar), bassist Will Pepper and drummer Gareth Farmer. The band split up in 1999 after releasing two full-length albums and several singles on Creation Records. Their anthemic sound was influenced by classic '60s rock 'n' roll, soul, and country rock, but with a contemporary edge. Superstar DJ Paul Oakenfold remixed their debut single, and UNKLE's James Lavelle revamped "Only The Strongest Will Survive." After the demise of Hurricane#1, Lowe concentrated on his solo career, and in 2013, released an album under the name Gun Club Cemetery on Alan McGee's 359 Music. McGee has been the driving force behind bringing Hurricane#1 back from the dead. This time around, Lowe is joined by Brazilian brothers Carlo and Lucas Mariani on guitar and bass and Chris Campbell on drums. Find What You Love and Let It Kill You came about when Lowe was in hospital undergoing cancer treatments. He recalls, "I would sit there on the bed for hours just thinking, staring out the window, then I thought if I'm spending my time in here doing nothing, I may as well try and keep busy, so I wrote most of the album in hospital... When you are wired up to chemo and radio therapy, the last thing you want to do is wallow in it and feel sorry for yourself so I had the idea that the album should be happy and not too dark. I knew I wanted it to be a very organic album, back to basics type of sound, nothing fancy, just good tunes played in a good rock 'n' roll manner." The album was recorded in Turriff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where Steve Ransome, an old friend of Lowe's, runs a studio. During the recording sessions Andy Bell contributed the backward guitar sounds on "Think of the Sunshine." For the artwork the band hunted down loads of ideas, but couldn't find anything they liked, so Lowe painted it. "It's all original artwork I did for this album, a bit what like John Squire did for the Roses, I think it works great."
