Red Rum Club: Western Approaches
Western Approaches from Scouse Americana collective Red Rum Club comes exclusively pressed to colour-in-colour splatter LP, limited to 500 copies and hand-numbered to order.
Inspired by an old World War II Naval base in Liverpool city centre sharing the same name the album was conceived on the docks, a new location for the band and again much closer to home for the boys.
Ā It seems the further afar they play the tighter their grip on their roots become, playing their biggest headline show to date in Bootle a small town in North Liverpool where some of the lads grew up.Ā
This nostalgia and a dockland setting provided a post-war aesthetic to inspire the album, reflected in the name and the artwork. America had also become a new pasture for the band which you can really hear in this album.Ā
A change from the well polished, clean cut sonic that had become a theme in the band's previous works and replaced with the raw energy they're known to produce onstage. The industrial influence is reflected in the production and it became a conscious effort to add more sound effects, distortions and echoes into the arrangement of the songs.
