Ullages
The 11-track effort ‘Ullages’ was recorded in a converted church in the Eagulls’s hometown of Leeds. Mixed by Craig Silvey (Nine Inch Nails, Depeche More), it’s said to recall “the shimmering opulence of Cocteau Twins, the guitar lines of Smiths-era Johnny Marr, and the ominous gloom of Disintegration/Pornography-era The Cure,” according to an official statement.
Instead of picking up where their critically acclaimed self-titled debut left off, ‘Ullages’ shows the band flexing more refined songwriting muscle and carving out a new sound for themselves.
Where “Lemontrees” illustrated this transition, new track “My Life In Rewind” perfectly illustrates the transformation the band has made on ‘Ullages.’ In it they challenge the most melodic elements showcased on the self-titled album and explore them more thoughtfully — the result falling somewhere between the opulence of Cocteau Twins and the ominous gloom of Pornography-era The Cure.
