Live at the Annandale Hotel (RSD 25)

Life Without Buildings – Live At The Annandale Hotel. Limited Edition Red Coloured Vinyl.

Sue Tompkins from the band has designed new artwork for the packaging. Though Life Without Buildings recorded just one acclaimed studio album, Any Other City, released on the Rough Trade Tugboat imprint, the Glasgow band also played a series of unique, now near-mythical live shows before splitting. Capturing their group’s fleeting creative spark, Live At The Annandale Hotel is a triumphant document of Life Without Buildings shining at their very brightest on stage. Revealing the organic roots of Sue Tompkins’ experimental vocals along with the propulsive energy behind the band’s core, this live recording reveals the crisp, clipped, and controlled, yet always passionate, performance of Life Without Buildings as they hit their all too brief peak.

“Life Without Buildings are beloved because they were freaking incredible, inhabiting a personality-driven idiom with more charisma and originality than most anyone else.” — Pitchfork, 8.7 Review
