Havergal – Lungs For The Race
Back in 2001, after two amazing 7″s and an instrumental 10″, Havergal released Lungs For The Race on Secretly Canadian. Using little more than a guitar, sampler and a drum machine, Havergal principal Ryan Murphy crafted simple layers of music with which to state, more so than sing, his morose lyrics over. Written over the course of three years, the album is lo-fi but far from sloppy, with each song utilizing it’s simplicity to great effect. Creating a world of beautiful melancholia, Lungs For The Race is the type of record you listen to when you are alone.
