Lupine Howl were formed out of the ashes of Spirtualized,
in January 1999. Sean Cook lead Howler explains. "I
see Lupine Howl as capable of doing whatever we feel like
doing".
Lupine Howl release their debut single "Vaporizer".
It gets single of the week in the NME "Its all reckless
freak out. They must be very pleased with themselves. After all
revenge is a dish best eaten cool. This record is way cool"
They follow up their debut release with some outstanding London
shows. This confirms the band as one of the most powerful live
bands around. The live set is all Spencer Davis grooves
and Parliament rifts.
Debut album "The Carnivorous Lunar Activities Of Lupine
Howl
." released in the spring of 2001. Uncut
called the album " Full on psychedelic throttle rock",
Big Issue album of the week "Smacked out cosmic jams.
They are doing it all by themselves ", Daily Telegraph
"Its Good to hear such great music coming out of so much
acrimony", Sunday Express "Its a fantastic
album".
Which brings us right up to date, Lupine Howl release
their new album "The Bar at the End Of The World"
on October 14th 2002, through Beggars Banquet.
The new album was recorded over the last year with fellow Howlers
Mike Mooney & Jon Mattock; "The Bar"
is a beautiful string layden country tinged psych record. It's
with out doubt their finest recordings to date, and shows a band
relaxed in their approach to songwriting.
Sean Cook on the new album "Virtue and Vice are negated
by the grave, but as long as you got a grave you got somewhere
to go. After signing off from life it's just possible to see both
your impotence and your power. We can be pathetic and beautiful
but when we become proud we are often succeeded by the weak and
the lean and the low. I'm confused about most things but one thing
I do know is that I'm clearly fucked but at least I'm clear about
that. I hope there is a bar at the end of world so that at least,
when I get there, I can get a drink"
The Howl will be touring most autumn 2002, this is a real chance
to see the band in full force. Their live show's are already being
hailed as classic's, so much so that The Charlatans asked
the band to support them on their UK tour. The band also has played
with The Dandy Warhols.
