San Lorenzo

Nothing New Ever Works / San Lorenzo
12 inch / CD album Released 2000



A testament to regional music from Sabbath country. San Lorenzo grew up by the wayside, and thank L.Ron Hubbard for the uninhibited self-belief it gave them. Comparisons capture the spirit but sell our Midland heroes short. Still, Shakespeare I ain't. Thrift-store electro opener 'Jun' is a 'Blue Monday' for people sick of drugs, and kicks off a selection of tunes which take in the freeform narrative folk of 'My History is Valid', the precise rage of 'Life Without Mountains', the smile and blush boy/girl ache of 'Tension Halved', the searing 'Julie James' and the frankly Sabbatical 'Dead Amps'. San Lorenzo are big in Argentina and many attribute the new-found friendships of our two countries to their gunboat diplomacy.
