This limited edition collection includes new songs, covers, instrumentals, previously unreleased material and live tracks recorded at the ABC in Glasgow, highlighting the power, versitility and raw intensity of their live sound.
With the majority of tracks mixed and mastered by Iain Cook of Aerogramme, ‘…Killed My Parents And Hit The Road’ encompasses the bands’ bare, unfeigned use of melancholy with rousing, epic intensity, never straying too far from hitting sentimental nerves. Throughout the record, melodies stagger between feedback-laden instrumentals and rich, seemingly effortless acoustic ballads, each accented by James Graham’s strong Scottish tones, creating a collection of songs that are as intriguing as they are engulfing.
Alongside their own tracks, the band included cover songs by Joy Division (Twenty Four Hours), Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Modern Romance) and The Smiths (Half A Person).
The release includes live recordings of four songs from Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters, their debut album released in 2007, as well as two new song demos: Untitled #28 and Untitled #27
The cover is a parody of Sonic Youth's iconic album Goo.
