Convenience Kills

by Bad Amputee

supported by

eddiecarter1976 Jaw dropping, just brilliant! Favorite track: Stick Herod.

Mark James Hammond The space. The harmonies. Takes everything at its own pace, assuredly with absolutely no frippery! Can’t stress how difficult I think that is to pull off.

about

“Yes, slowcore. That tag will probably bring to mind a very specific moment in 90s American underground music – think Low, Codeine, etc – and while that’s clearly the well Bad Amputee are supping from, this is a very English take on the approach.... Convenience Kills on the whole has that kind of feel of a musical golden hour... The effect... is trancelike, the music seems to suspend time somehow as it draws you in. Highlight Rhona is the prime example, making nearly nine minutes feel like about three, as you lose yourself in a simple timeless melody.” - Sleeping Shaman

“An undiluted portrait of an under-the-radar treasure, it’s the type of song cycle that’d provide balm for the soul and scope to lose oneself during any fall period.” - IPA Music

“This is an excellent release, you don’t really hear much music in this fashion any more that is as perfectly constructed as this.” - Collective Zine

“Songs glide, develop and build beautifully. The album provides clear evidence of the importance of space and pace, not just notes, chords and silence... I continue to play this album and wonder in near awe at it. I cannot give it too high a recommendation.” - TQ

Recorded in 2019 at First Avenue, Newcastle upon Tyne with Dave Curle
