Liu Bei – Goodness

admin — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:09:00 +0000

Heartfelt and tender, Liu Bei‘s latest EP Goodness, out now via Museumgoer Records, is a record of delicate and yearning music, filled with glistening synths and delicate melodies and exuding an intricate power that quivers and sways in a place of filmy suspense. There’s no sense of boundaries, just an expansive exploration of acute feeling, grand and haunting, and where Richard Walters’ vocals soar beyond the song, the band’s tight percussion and intricate guitar work knots the sound together and brings it back to earth. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes painful, Goodness suggests a band on the edge of great, if emotional things.

Liu Bei – Infatuation

“We heard something on the radio about Liu Bei, a Chinese warlord who was known as an amazing strategist and a really caring, benevolent leader. He was also eight feet tall and had ears so big he could see them. Seemed like something to aspire to.”
That’s surely all you need to know to know that Liu Bei are worth listening to. Infatuation is a twinkling soundscape evocative of M O N E Y and Mazzy Star, it’s filled with echoing shimmers and concrete contemplation. Out via paradYse/Transgressive Records on July 7th.

Liu Bei play Servant Jazz Quarters in London on July 10^th 2014.

Tickets are available here.
