Love And Rockets: Express (Vinyl LP)

Love And Rockets are the seminal groundbreaking trio of Daniel Ash (vocals and guitar), David J (vocals and bass) and Kevin Haskins (drums). They formed in 1985 after the first split of their band, Bauhaus. Love and Rockets provided a clean slate and an opportunity to plumb the depths of imagination and influences.

Express is a unique, mystical and transcendental travelogue of sorts. The original press release for the album said that “the balance of light and dark, positive and negative, yin and yang, is a recurring theme.” In 2020, NPR, referring to the album, stated that their “psychedelic train ride laid the foundation for alt-rock.” This is a single black LP with a standard sleeve.
