Description
This new 2014 re-issue of Frank Turner's second album 'Love Ire & Song' showcases Frank's musical maturity and adept storytelling lyricism in expressive and poignant songs.
From the rousing opener of 'I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous' to the piano-led despondency of finale 'Jet Lag', Frank explores themes of lost love, loneliness, heartache and despair but without ever losing his inherent hope and optimism which runs brightly through the album's core. Includes the Zane Lowe championed single 'Photosynthesis'.
Description
Love Ire & Song - Frank Turner's much loved sophomore studio album - gets a much deserved audiophile repress on vinyl.
Frank Turner's second album Love, Ire & Song, released in 2008 helped the singer songwriter reach a new level of success building on the heights achieved with debut album SIFTW. Written and produced by Frank, with help from friends Ben Lloyd and Nigel Powell then from Dive Dive and now in Frank's live band The Sleeping Souls, it features the singles 'Photosynthesis', 'Reasons Not To Be An Idiot' and 'Long Live The Queen' – the latter of which gave Frank his first Radio 1 daytime playlist. All three songs have become the core Frank's live set to this day and are firm fan favourites.
The album received critical acclaim from the likes of NME and Kerrang! and saw Frank selling out larger and larger venue across the country, including London's Scala.
The album was certified Silver in 2013 and is re-issued here on 180g black vinyl in newly artworked gatefold sleeve.
