Lissy Trullie, for all her understated attitude and low-range growl, nonetheless seems to write tunes with a boundless enthusiasm for all that electrifies us at Cannibal Cheerleader. For instance, her recently re-released and supremely excellent debut EP Self-Taught Learner, whose updated cover you can check out below contains a few new songs to justify slapping down the ten-spot yet again. Let us swear to you faithful readers, pay twenty, pay extra, give the cash to the indie-rock nerd-chic kiddo behind the counter because they’ll want to grab this record just for these extra tunes as well. Shredding the same fabric woven by the Strokes in 2001, Lissy Trullie and company, simply put, cut a fantastic garage-rock tune. Incredible additions to any disaffected youth’s record collection.
In other LT news it remains absolutely essential that you follow along with the band on their YouTube page – check out the sweet motorcycle action on their newest video below. Love. This. Band.
Fantastic news on the Lissy Trullie front in terms of new music – looks like not only has our famously fashionable New York starlet signed up to Downtown Records, home of the Cold War Kids, Spank Rock, and many other Cannibal Cheerleader-friendly artists, but her Self-Taught Learner EP has warranted the re-release treatment with an updated tracklist. Out on October 20th Lissy Trullie’s debut EP will now look like this:
01. Boy Boy 02. She Said 03. Self-Taught Learner 04. Money 05. Forget About it 06. Ready For The Floor 07. Don’t To Do (New Track) 08. Hold Your Head (New Track) 09. Just A Friend (Duet w/ Adam Green – Biz Markie Cover) 10. You Bleed You (Unreleased Demo)
All this packaged with the incredible news that Lissy and company are working with none other than Bernard Butler (perhaps you’ll remember his work with the Libertines, our favorite band ever, on their excellent singles “What A Waster” and “Don’t Look Back Into the Sun”) on their debut album, slated for release in early 2010. People are being turned on left and right to an artist we’ve already deemed as one of the best of the year. Also if you haven’t caught up with recent Lissy Trullie happenings, including the band’s runin with Swine Flu over in Europe, read it up over at their blog.
Also, subscribe to the band’s YouTube page, where they’ve just recently uploaded their new EPK – it’s definitely worth checking out if only for the excellent live footage.
