Personal Life

KILL ROCK STARS
Format:
CD
Price:
$16.50
Catalog #:
KRS 519CD
"Over the course of seven years and four LPs, The Thermals have tackled religion, politics, and death with no small amount of passion and fervor. With their fifth LP, The Thermals have battled (and perhaps even conquered!) the deepest and darkest of all popular art themes -- love. Not that The Thermals haven't sung/spoken/screamed about the wide range of emotions love produces and abuses. But never before have The Thermals devoted an entire LP to love, loss, and lies! More than an album strictly about love,
Personal Life
is about relationships. It's about the concept of a connection between two people -- making it, breaking it, and faking it.
Personal Life
amounts to the indie rock equivalent of a brilliant but ultimately doomed love affair. A beautiful, turbulent experience that will hopefully leave you wiser in the ways of love and life.
Personal Life
is something of a retro-technical achievement. Producer Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie, Tegan and Sara) recorded The Thermals the same way in which he produced their 2004 LP
Fuckin' A
. The band was recorded live (for the most part) to tape, and the album was mixed to tape as well. The sonic care Walla gave to
Personal Life
assures an enjoyable listen for audiophiles (the vinyl was mastered straight from tape) as well as for the rest of us who don't care and will be listening on shitty headphones and Radio Shack speakers."

Title:
Never Listen To Me
Label:
KILL ROCK STARS
Format:
7"
Price:
$5.00
Catalog #:
KRS 539EP
"Musically, 'Never Listen To Me' and its B-side 'There Is Always A Reason' find The Thermals treading new ground. Unlike the power-chord powered raucous sing-alongs for which The Thermals are famous, these songs are driven primarily by the rhythm section, with the guitar and vocals taking on a more subtle, subdued role. Like most Thermals songs, on the surface they appear quite simple. But these songs expand and collapse in new and exciting ways, and are a good indication of where The Thermals are heading."
