After over a year’s delay, The (International) Noise Conspiracy’s “Armed Love” will finally get released in North America on October 4th. Restructuring at their label American Recordings forced the band to get lost in the shuffle for an extended period of time. It’s kind of an odd situation because in the meantime, the album was released via Burning Heart in Europe back in July of last year and will be old news to many people who already bought it as an import. Still, I think it’s their best album to date and it’s good to hear that it will now be readily available in stores. The band’s line-up seems to have changed for this most recent album, organist Sara Almgren is no longer with them. To preview music from Armed Love, check out the E-card and videos for “A Small Demand” and “Black Mask“. Also possibly of interest: Dennis Lyxzén’s solo project The Lost Patrol has turned into a full-blown band and released a new self-titled album on Burning Heart earlier this year.
