Willow Barbeau took me a while to get to this album through all of the LTTM discography, but through my first listen I'm already in love with it. It has everything I'd want in any of Kyle's projects Favorite track: Heartbeats.

I get up early and my legs are aching I get so nervous my hands start shaking and the baby's teething and my ears are bleeding I think Christmas came a little too early this year But it's alright, it's all good I'm still here Even If I'm crying on Sarah's bathroom floor anxious and full of fear Oh If the devil can find true love, then I can make it out of here

Stars 03:17
There's stars on the ceiling, stars in your eyes I've never seen you drunk before, I've never seen you cry But with that little bit of alcohol, a little bit fear Your eyes tell me everything, they say kiss me right here But I don't, I retreat- confidence has never been my style Let's just watch the bands!? They say it and then smile: Our names with an ampersand, a push to move us closer. Your eyes struggle to lock on me I feel you falling over- this can't be over? I guess it's what some people call the end. There's stars hanging from you mantelpiece, stars hanging from your sky I've never seen you sober. I've never heard you lie but with that little bit of alcohol, I push away my fear In the garage I tell you everything, mopping up the spilt beers. But when I do you retreat, treachery has never been your style Let's just watch the bands?! fuck!? with been alone a while In an indie tent playing shit tunes, the crowds push to move you closer Your eyes struggle to lock on me, I feel you falling over this can't be over? I guess it's what some people call the end. Me? I call it falling in love with your best friend.

Heartbeats 03:43
Let's read your yearbook in the dark. Where is Mark? Cause he lives for shit like this. They've all gone, gone to bed but in my head. I'm a picture that you point to. Like "Oh him? Sat in front. What a catch, What a dream he was" Never thought It'd come true Never thought I could have you. With all my imperfections, why am I still here? Staring in a mirror as my eyes well up with tears. I just stand and grasp at moments. Moments long since past and wonder if my heart still beats as fast. And now we're walking in the park Hear him bark! I still think that he's your favourite Now we're back, back in bed but in my head I'm a picture that you point to Like "Oh him? What a wimp, what a selfish prick he was" I just hope it don't come true. Oh I hope I can keep you.

Blood 02:00
I'm anxious. I'm anxious and empty and I just thought I should let you know. I'm bored. I'm bored and bloody. Just had to tell somebody and that someone is you I'm going to beat myself to death with my own shoe cause I don't want to become uninteresting to you I'm depressed, I haven't slept, I'm a mess For lack of better words. I'm unkempt. I got this habit of putting scissors in my ear and I push, I push, I push until it bleeds I got this habit of not knowing the difference between What I want and what I need.

I've got this 7" from this film I like and it always makes me think of you It's about the consequences of the mistakes we make and fate... But you don't believe in fate. It's make me think of all the people I tried and tested Before I found this final resting place It makes me think of rainy cities and snowy landscapes It makes me think about that look upon your face that says.. You don't believe in fate. Lets draw up a map of what-ifs and what could have beens See where we wind up? Cause I don't think we'd have got here Without someone's help. But still you don't believe in fate.

The wind moves the trees from my window and a heavy rain falls on the ground I'm trying my best to hear something but I can't hear a sound Over my beating heart cause it's falling apart Cause I'm spending the night with you and I don't want I will do as the wind and the rain pursues God knows what? for God knows who? It's just like that time I tried to pursue you Shadowy figures in the lights in the distance Live their tiny little life's I can't see anything, I can't see through the lights I can't see past you, and all those things that you do You say I'm always tired, I say you're always pretty Let's just sit in the darkness and try and figure this out.
7.
Chicago is the home of emotion, and Paris is the city of love So I'm not sure what we're doing here in your living room, We should be out painting the town... I forget that you get sad, sometimes as well I could lay awake in your arms all day but only your heart is my home.. So I'm not sure what we're doing here In your living room, we should be out painting the town Sometimes I feel like the enemy. Sometimes I feel, like you're my only friend.

Will my sadness, ever come through in my songs? Will these pills, ever bring me back my hope? Will I have to grit my teeth, grin and bare these fucked up dreams. I'm a fucking joke, I'm a sad romantic trope. and I'm hollow. Hollow is how I feel. And at work, I feel like Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now the choppers rage about my head, ready to take me down

about

The first full band Lttm. Finally!

A mixture of old and new songs, recorded over a long drunken weekend involving whiskey, tears and a lot of Rocky films sometime in Feburary 2016 with our besty Alan McCormack of Now Wakes the Sea fame, in the usual lttm lo-fi style in practice rooms and bedrooms across Glasgow with;

Barry Carty on drums
Wull Swales on Bass/vocals
Andrew Pearson on Lead guitar
and lil ol' Lttm himself Kyle Wood.

Additional drunken performances by;
Alex Trew, Matt Trew, Alan Warner, Jack Macauley, Lauren Rankin and Iain Gillion.

Big Thanks to Struggletown Records Steven Hill/Slowlight/Sinking Feeling/Manuscripts for letting us use their practice space! and of course thanks to everyone who's stuck by Lttm for the past how many ever years!

Beatiful cover art of me and Ralph doing Peanuts by the ever brilliant Michael Monaghan.

Muchos Gracias.

about

Lovers Turn to Monsters Glasgow, UK

Lovers Turn to Monsters is a long pale man, slowly falling into middle age.

He wishes he could be one of those guys who tours all the time, but he likes baths far too much. So instead he stays in his room and makes lengthy albums of emotive lo-fi nonsense. ... more
