VULGARIANS DEAD PEOPLE ARE EASIER TO LOVE

Written a mere 72 hours before their studio session with Alex Greaves at the increasingly popular Leeds studio The Nave, 'Dead People Are Easier To Love' was a lucky strike of last-minute creativity for Hull-based noise-makers Vulgarians. In a similar vein to The Horrors' 2009 LP Primary Colours, 'Dead People Are Easier To Love' fuses together effects-drenched guitars à la My Bloody Valentine with spacey synthesizers and rhythmic bass lines, offset by RW Preen's scathing vocals. Discussing the track Preen said in a press release, “After wandering home from wherever I had been, I noticed a blank billboard, which rather amusingly someone had tagged. I guess we live in a time where culture is so celebrity-driven and popularity accounts for happiness, it’s easy to romanticise that a blank billboard appeals to you. There’s truth and guilt in that we don’t appreciate something or someone until they’re no longer present.” -Holly Mullineaux
