Description

In many ways, new alhambra is an auditory homage to what has shaped lead singer Mathew Lee CothranÍs life. Its title, as any hardcore pro-wrestling fan will recognize, credits the Philadelphia arena that birthed its most legendary and extreme version of it, and the use of samples from wrestling shows and late night televangelists serve as a reference to his upbringing. The album was characteristically made with outdated equipment and limited by only one microphone, with Mike ñDr. Vinkî Roberts playing an essential role on bass that enriches the rockier resonation in comparison to elvis depressedlyÍs previous releases. Cothran and Delaney were constantly on the move during the recording process thanks to their new found career freedom, but none of it takes away from new alhambra fully texturized shift toward brightly melancholic noise-pop inspired by CothranÍs favorite un- sung heroes such as Waterboys, Prefab Sprout and Emperor X.
