Lone Swordsmen |

The new album rom Two Lone Swordsmen From The Double Gone
Chapel will be released on May 17th. The album features vocals
by Andy Weatherall himself, Keith Tenniswood on bass and guitar,
plus various live drums and keys. Revisiting the murky London
underworld evoked by classic Sabres of Paradise like Haunted
Dancehall , the album is full of the Swordsmen's many influences
- dub, goth, industrial, electro, punk and more. You can listen
to the album on the excellent new TLS Site. A 3 track promo single
"Faux" is out now, released on 12" vinyl through Warpmart and
indie stores, and as a download from Bleep.
