The 13th album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
The band was close to giving up the ghost by now, forty years after starting out. Only the guitarist and bass player Ricky Gardiner from Glasgow was the remaining member from their first albums.
The band had gone from symph prog to heavy metal and now dream pop during those years. The vast majority of their albums are dream pop albums.
Lose A Life is a dark, melancholic album. It sounds angry too at times. Very bitter, twisted and angry. This within the dream pop genre. But the band are really pushing that envelope, the borders of that genre, with this album.
This is dream pop. But it is a bad dream.
The vocals are good. The music is a bit baroque and melancholic.
The songs are all good although the lyrics are twisted at times.
This is one of their better dream pop albums and well worth checking out.
