Description
Debut album by one of Merseysides most currently widely praised bands, with a strong local following.
From the remnants of schizo-pop acrobats Seal Cub Clubbing Club comes Loved Ones, a group based around lead singer Nik Glover and Richard Hurst from brutal psych-rockers The Laze.
Wirrals Loved Ones stitch together genre elements from folk, dub, glitch, hip hop and psych music, to create off the wall, lo-fi, experimental pop music which will appeal to fans of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Why? and Woods.
The bands debut album, The Merry Monarch, is a twisted Basement Tapes-esque cornucopia of sweet love songs, glitchy beats and blessed out melancholia. · The gatefold LP is limited to 500 copies and features lavish artwork by Smiling Wolf.
Loved Ones were winners of the inaugural Liverpool GIT (Get Into This) Awards in 2012.
Flashes of chamber pop from the New York scene drift in and out (think Grizzly Bear, The National or Dirty Projectors more quiet moments) as well as the subdued melancholy of Wild Beasts. Loved Ones are another example of a Liverpool band looking outward for influences, and are tipped by many Liverpool Echo
