Committed
live to tape at the start of 2008, New Spirituals presents the first opportunity
for fans of the group&8217;s studio debut to grab these songs, new and
improved, on the blessed format of vinyl LP. Featuring live favourites,
new tracks and the faithful covers, New Spirituals is the perfect companion
piece to Which side are you on? and leads us slyly by the hand towards
the new sound the band are concucting for their 2nd studio full-length,
due in 2009.

4/5
- Here's a vinyl only stopgap of radio sessions to whet your appetite
for the second album, due next year, from our premier psychedelic swap-rock
torchbearers, The Notorious Hi-Fi Killers. A steroid-enhanced rip through
the 13th Floor Elevators' Reverberation (Doubt) evidences the group's
familiarity with acid rock's first wave, but the superdense, late-1980s
sounds of Spacemen 3 and Loop have been snaffled along the way, and burnished
with battery-acid blues licks. This heady mix sounds as if it was sunbaked
somewhere on the Texas border, but in fact it percolated up through the
drizzle of south London. And there's more coming soon."
