Product Information
A great selection of covers and originals make Lyres' second album a fascinating example of a band at the top of their game. Sound, attitude and a way of making music that you don't see around too often. Over the next few months Munster Records will reissue the complete Lyres discography on Ace of Hearts. While a previous EP version of 'She Pays The Rent' had a fairly moderate pace, the LP reading couldn't have been any more different, moving at a snail's pace and somewhat dramatic to boot. This version could well be Jeff "Monoman" Conolly at his most James Brown / Otis Redding soulful best, shredding his larynx as he bares his soul. Another significant factor of the "Lyres Lyres" record is that it produced a kind of polarisation in some quarters, between some fan factions who wanted them to stay as they had been before, raw and basic with not quite yet still an air of slavish 60-style garage affectations, and just the minimal acquiescence towards a half-way modern sound. Others, meanwhile, welcomed the new approach. "Jeff and I did not want to make another "On Fyre"," says producer Rick Harte. "I thought we had made our point with that record. We wanted a more progressive interpretation which resulted in more production, effects, etc. The 'outside the box' choice of material is a testament to Jeff's knowledge of the genre and his genius. There was a huge, obsessive effort put into making all of the Lyres records." Indeed, "Lyres Lyres" is an album that can stand up to repeated plays year on year and always offers something new to the listener. (Lenny Helsing)
