What's Yr Damage

Staring down the barrel of their psych-gaze outfit Creepoid's dissolution, Anna and Patrick Troxell didn't see an ending. Instead, they staged the reveal of their then-secret project Lovelorn. This commitment to secrecy pervades throughout Lovelorn's debut album 'What's Yr Damage'. Each lyric rings like a slurred secret, every melody slips like an ace from a sleeve.Named for a term of endearment used between Anna and Patrick Troxell, 'What's Yr Damage' celebrates the longstanding romantic and creative partnership between the duo. Eager to press flesh to the sonic skeletons left by Creepoid, the Troxells began to connect their broad spanning influences into a constellation of sound they've coined as "drug pop." From dusky new wave synths to throbbing Detroit techno, 'What's Yr Damage' lies on the outskirts of conventional pop music.Using a menagerie of analog and digital instrumentation, Lovelorn's sound is rooted in the heydays of their prime influences-Soulwax, Echo & The Bunnymen, Spacemen 3-with eyes set on a self-made future. As 'What's Yr Damage' cycles through it's 10 tracks in a tight 35 minutes, the Troxells' comfort amidst chaos is palpable. With their undaunted take on synth-fueled pop, it is clear that the duo's debut was born from damage and dissolution.01. Fight or Flight 02. Sickness Reward 03. Reason 04. Leaps & Bounds 05.
