The new
SWERVEDRIVER album
I WASN'T BORN TO LOSE YOU was released a couple of weeks ago and ever since i've been eagerly waiting for the vinyl edition to appear. But here it is, and what a great album it has become! Definitely top 10 material for my yearlist. The band is completely back in shape, as if time stood still and as if there aren't 18 years between their previous album
99th Dream and this instant classic. It's got that typical Swervedriver feeling: lazy and summery vibes on one side, but with so much power and totally kicking ass on the other. Right from the start when you hear the intro to
Autodidact you recognise it's
Swervedriver. I've written it
before: i really hope they'll play on the European mainland (and preferably Holland of course) soon. The vinyl has two bonus tracks that don't appear on the CD version:
Dub Wound was the B-side to the
Deep Wound 7" from 2013, and
Days is the
Television cover that was on the B-side of the
Setting Sun 7" which was released for Black Friday 2014.
