Download : A Lazarus Soul
Not content with joining the hordes offering a free HWCH download, ALS have uploaded six songs from their eponymous debut album to MySpace for your grabbin’ pleasure. Which is really rather generous of them as it’s very difficult to find a copy in your local record store! The songs are Only Say The Word, Darkest Before Dawn, Processor, Pure and Simple, Octoberness and Sober Me, while seventh track Sanctuary is available from entertainment.ie/HWCH.
More recently, A Lazarus Soul followed on from controversial second album Graveyard of Burnt-Out Cars with
The Lia EP, recorded as a testament to Brian Brannigan’s niece Lia who lives with cerebral palsy :
We’ve recorded an e.p for her and that’s her being all Kim Gordon on the front cover. The first track is a new als song called “s.r.k”. The second is a new version of “decade for believing” with Paddy Barrett playing guitar and gracing the song with his heavenly vocals. The third is a version of “star of david” recorded in a light house during a storm.We filtered out the wind and rain so it sounds like we recorded it in one take, in a room with a piano. The last track is sanctuary from our first album (most people who buy this will be hearing als for the first time so will need a gentle introduction). It costs 5 euro and all money will go toward helping Lia to hold her head up while she smiles.
