This record was recorded in one take at Parr St. “These songs, these arrangements, became our way of getting back to our audience and once again revelling in the communion that we feel when we play on stage. The whole thing became a project of ours, and we gradually began increasing the depth of the pieces by bringing in keys and other various parts. Musically, it’s the most enjoyment I’ve ever gotten out of playing a collection of songs. “We played a few shows at a local hotspot for the modern beatniks of Manchester called the Rose & Monkey Hotel. “When everything went to shit with the Covid pandemic, we realised that if we wanted to continue playing live shows we’d have to drastically change the sound and really roll down the amps,” lead singer Thomas Haywood explains.

The project evolved from a series of stripped-back shows, the band falling in love with their new-found approach and finding themselves wanting to dive into their music and explore its sonic depth via additional instrumentation and experimentation. The Lounge Lizard Sessions is a collection of rearranged compositions more suited to socially distanced and intimate performances. Pre-orders of the album via the band’s official website will gain exclusive access to The Lounge Lizard live-stream taking place on July 24 th. Limited to just 500 copies on CD and 500 on vinyl, it will arrive a little over a year since the release of their critically acclaimed album Fantasies Of A Stay At Home Psychopath and features reimagined songs from the record alongside other favourites from their catalogue. The Blinders have announced a brand new live album – The Lounge Lizard Sessions – out July 23 rd via Modern Sky.
