Liam Finn: I'll Be Lightning
Click the button to stream the full album!
 Indie wunderkind Liam Finn has burst onto the musical landscape with the force and presence of an artist twice his age. The 23-year-old New Zealander plays nearly every instrument on his first solo release I'll Be Lightning, a responsibility he doesn't relinquish when performing live. During his raucous yet intimate performances Liam utilizes effects pedals to create, sample and loop bass, guitar, drums, vocals and even Theremin. Liam's sound ranges from foggy and intimate to fuzzed-out garage but melodies are always the order of the day. On I'll Be Lightning, Liam has translated the shambolic energy of his live show onto vintage 2-inch tape, yielding a studio album of frightening power and endless hooks. The vinyl version of I'll Be Lightning will include 5 bonus tracks not on the actual album, as well as a special edition CD (available only in the vinyl packaging) featuring the album plus the vinyl-only bonus tracks. The LP is sold out, but you may still be able to find it in your local record store. |
