Product Description

After having the pleasure of releasing ‘The Sound of Young America’ on vinyl for the first time last year, it was an obvious step to delve further into the back catalogue of Welsh psychedelic shoe-gazers, The Voices. ‘Death Of A Lover’s Song’ was the band’s third album (released on CD only back in 2009) and it was the full on sonic assault of the track ‘When The Black Sun Sets’ that initially piqued my interest in the band. Ethereal vocals and waves of effect-laden guitar ensure the obvious (and rather lazy) comparisons to the likes of MBV, Slowdive and Spacemen 3 but The Voices carry it off while maintaining their own take on modern shoegaze . I am delighted to be able to offer this lost classic on vinyl for the first time and the special edition version looks likely to be one of the most stunning looking releases yet in the DRR catalogue.

“Death of the Lover’s song was originally released in 2009 based around the themes of war, space and relationship breakdowns. The band split in disarray after only one show to promote the album. It features a far more expansive sound than our two previous releases and some of our best work to date.”

The Voices

Formed in 2003 The Voices consist of CS Munday, CD Pompa and C Pompa. A demo created one beautiful summer started a journey of noise, repetition and dreams. They went on to release four albums, several BBC radio sessions and appeared on shoegaze and noise compilations from record companies from across the globe.

The Voices split up in 2009.

In 2017, the band reformed and released their last album ‘Dark Waters’ in 2018. They are currently in the studio working on new material and a return to playing live.

In May 2019 ‘The Sound Of Young America’ was released on vinyl for the first time by Drone Rock Records. In November 2020 their album, ‘Death Of A Lover’s Song’ is to be released on vinyl for the first time, again by Drone Rock Records.
