“Coroner’s Office” is the latest single from the upcoming
debut album “We Are Not The Same” by Lux.
“...filled with synthy goodness, fuzzy guitars, and purty
purty duets, making them a band worthy of your attention” – Three Imaginary
Girls
Seattle duo Lux today issued another peek
into the sound of its debut album We Are Not The Same, due
for release on April 3rd, 2012. The new single “Coroner’s
Office” follows up the album’s first single “The Window” which
was recently featured as a Magnet Magazine “MP3 At 3PM” and
on the KEXP “Music That Matters” podcast.
The band wrote “Coroner’s Office” “in an
addled haze of oblivion” according to the male half of the duo, David
Chandler. “I was watching a lot of ‘Forensic Files’ and ‘Cold
Case Files.’ There was a channel that ran this stuff 24/7. I also saw
documentaries about Gacy, Gein and Dahmer. This inspired song ideas and ‘Coroner’s
Office’ seemed to encapsulate these ideas the most. The song ended up
being recorded at the very last minute for inclusion on the album.”
Inspired by some of the most essential artists of the era of
indie and underground music (Pavement, The Velvet Underground, Sonic
Youth, The Magnetic Fields, The Jesus & Mary Chain, New
Order, Blondie), Leah Rosen and David
Chandler trade off vocals, guitars, synths and drum programming on We
Are Not The Same which they also wrote, recorded and mixed
themselves. The album is due for release on April 3rd.
