SG64: Lurve - Run, Get Drunk and Fall in Love Again

Lurve is a noise pop band from Siberia. Along with bridging the gaps between post-punk, shoegaze, and dream pop, their album Run, Get Drunk and Fall in Love Again effortlessly blends “spoken word, tenderness, irony, anger, and love;” the band describes the album as having “equally a bright sadness for lost moments and a desire to smash everything around you.”

Heavy, complex guitar-torn tracks like “L.I.F.E” and “Orchid Flowers” give o a chaotic, brooding energy, ultimately balanced by tracks like the cerebral “THIS IS MY PUNCHLINE!!!” as well as the ethereal “Pesnya o Lyubvi,” a love song sung in Russian. Ultimately, Run, Get Drunk and Fall in Love Again is a stunning mix of experimental charm and focused skill, condensed into a single, stunning package.
