Costello, Elvis And The Attractions - Blood & Chocolate

NEW VINYL LP ON MOBILE FIELITY 2015

Numbered Limited Edition 180-gram LP Sourced from Original Master Tapes

Known in his youth as the "angry young man," Elvis Costello waited until 1986 to create the most vicious record of his career. Stripped to the studs and produced by Nick Lowe, Blood and Chocolate seethes with vindictiveness, spite, and rancor. The 11-track effort clatters with raw rock n' roll menace and clangs with darkly humorous intent. Venomous, acerbic, and aggressive, it values rhythm and attack over harmony and melody. A volatile rite of passage on which harsh Telecaster riffs cut like razor blades and Costello spits words as if they were Molotov cocktails tossed at enemies, this is the satisfying sound of emotional catharsis.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Costello
