A few days ago, in Pitchfork’s ebullient review of the new Love Is All album Two Thousand And Ten Injuries, lead singer Josephine Olausson was touted as “one of the early 21st century’s great poets of romantic dissatisfaction”, a description she found so silly that she tweeted about it. The pretentious Pitchfork writing aside, the live Love Is All is really all about unselfconscious joy. Last night at Maxwell’s, the band played their first live show in nine months, but picked up right where they left off. Despite the addition of a new guitarist (his first show) and first-time ever performances of some of the new album tracks, Love Is All displayed the type of unbridled energy and irreverent wit that has made them a must-see band when they come over to the US. The setlist combined six Two Thousand tracks with a nice selection of the older numbers, the highlights of which included the two-song show finale of “Make Out” and “Wishing Well”, and the crazy encore segment which concluded with personal favorite “Busy Doing Nothing”.
We recorded this set from our standard location in this venue. The sound mix and sound quality in the venue was superb and the result is an excellent recording. Enjoy!
Love Is All play Knitting Factory in Brooklyn in a few hours. We expect to also record that show.
The Crystal Stilts set from last night was also recorded.
