Album Notes & Community Reviews

A cornerstone of the early Factory Records catalog, 'LC' expands Vini Reilly's delicate, effects-laden guitar work with the inclusion of live percussion and hushed vocals. The album exists in a nebulous space between ethereal post-punk, classical minimalism, and early dream pop. Its shimmering, loop-driven atmosphere makes it a masterpiece of textural guitar composition.
