Merchandise - Children of Desire - LP - 2012
I think this album is amazing. Although it may not be as 'fuzzy' as 'Strange Songs', it has retained all of its lo-fi charm. It is the first album I have actually looked forward to in nearly ten years and I consider myself to be the luckiest boy in the world because I was blown away after listening to it the first time. Its so good that I don't even want to talk about it to much.
"Over a year in the making, Merchandise's Children of Desire is a logical extension of their previous Strange Songs LP. The band takes their 'gazed out post-punk blueprint and incorporates elements of krautrock throughout, creating their most cohesive piece of music and, undoubtedly, their best work yet, as well as the finest Katorga Works release to-date."
