Dark pop act Mayhem Lettuce to offers first track from upcoming album ‘Complete Sentences’ out in May
“Let’s Go For a Ride” will be the first track from the 6th album by Mayhem Lettuce called “Complete Sentences” due out May 20th, 2022. A remarkable detail, the titles of all the songs on that album are complete sentences. The band’s last album, “Invisible Songs”, was a concept album based on Grant Morrison’s “The Invisibles” comic book. You can find it on Bandcamp.
Mayhem Lettuce (the duo consisting of Grahm Eberhardt on vocals, keyboards, clarinet, etc. and Wade Saathoff on guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, etc.) was formed in Port Byron, IL in 1993. That music sits at the crossroads of King Missile and Portishead with a dash of The Cure and a pinch of They Might Be Giants. Mayhem Lettuce’s blends indie rock, goth rock, trip-hop, and electronica in one style which they’ve dubbed ‘Ghost Rock’.
Below is “Chaucer Creeps” from the band’s EP “More Songs About Chaucer and Creeps” which the band released last year.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
