Lowlife (3) ‎– Vain Delights. Label: Nightshift Records UK ‎– LOLIF-3T. Matrix, Runout (Hand-etched A side): MPO LOLIF 3T A1.

In 1985, Lowlife recorded Rain, a six-song mini-album. It was released on Nightshift Records, a label formed by Guthrie specifically to release material by the band. All subsequent Lowlife LPs, singles, and EPs would appear on Nightshift, with the exception of their final album, Gush, which was released on the Anoise Annoys Records label. The production of the EP was financed by the band's new association with Working Week, a recently formed publishing company run by Jeff Chegwin, twin brother of television presenter Keith Chegwin. Record Mirror called the release "Profound, melancholic, and reaches the parts other ephemeral pieces of plastic cannot reach.

Lowlife followed up the strong if slightly monolithic Permanent Sleep with a more varied release, Diminuendo. The secret winner of the album might be "Licking One's Wounds," with each of the bandmembers trying for a little something different yet still sounding exactly like themselves as a whole. LTM's reissue adds two tracks from the Vain Delights EP and the entirety of the four-song Swirl, It Swings, both of which contain some of the group's finest individual songs, including the anthemic "Hollow Gut," the full 12" mix of "Eternity Road," and "Swing

Lowlife are easily one of the most under-rated bands of all time. I expect that most of my readers are very familiar, or at least somewhat familiar with their music. For those that are not, it's time! I plan on posting a semi-discography of the band that came prior to Lowlife (Dead Neighbours) after this. A quick summary on the sound: A perfect blending of aze sounds. Heavy, melancholic vocals and some of the most ethereal, dark, and overall brilliant musical compositions you'll hear anywhere.
