Their second album ‘\u003cem\u003eThird Time At The Beach\u003c\/em\u003e’ – a three-part epic exploring our struggle to better understand the world around us – arrives on the 20th September via \u003cstrong\u003eAD 93\u003c\/strong\u003e. Darting between minimalism, rock, techno and more, it sends us hurtling us through time and space: featuring a cast of astronauts, cavemen and dinosaurs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis follows LICE’s internationally acclaimed debut album ‘\u003cem\u003eWASTELAND\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003cem\u003eWhat Ails Our People Is Clear\u003c\/em\u003e’ (2021). Praised as “exciting, alive, packed with musical ideas” by Financial Times and “a welcome lease of life for British avant-rock that plays with expectation at every turn” by CRACK, it also gained radio support across BBC 6Music, BBC Radio 1 and KEXP. The album led LICE to perform at major festivals including Reading \u0026amp; Leeds, Green Man and End Of The Road, embark on an extensive EU tour supporting Sleaford Mods, and tour across the UK \u0026amp; EU.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e‘\u003cem\u003eThird Time At The Beach\u003c\/em\u003e’’s concept is expressed through three movements. The first (‘\u003cem\u003eUnscrewed\u003c\/em\u003e’, ‘\u003cem\u003eWhite Tubes\u003c\/em\u003e’, ‘\u003cem\u003eRed Fibres\u003c\/em\u003e’) presents the child being introduced to the world, hammered into shape through prevailing culture, and realising they have reached adulthood with a blinkered understanding of the world. The second (‘\u003cem\u003eTo The Basket\u003c\/em\u003e’, ‘\u003cem\u003eWrapped In A Sheet\u003c\/em\u003e’, ‘\u003cem\u003eScenes From The Desert\u003c\/em\u003e’, ‘\u003cem\u003eMown In Circles\u003c\/em\u003e’) is a disorientating, alien sequence: reevaluating fundamental concepts including money, time, nationhood and language. In the third (‘\u003cem\u003eFatigued\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eConfused\u003c\/em\u003e’, ‘\u003cem\u003eThird Time At The Beach\u003c\/em\u003e’, ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Dance\u003c\/em\u003e’), the individual embraces these new ideas – granting them a changed understanding of the world, and more agency in the path they take through it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEverything is always changing in ‘\u003cem\u003eThird Time At The Beach\u003c\/em\u003e’. The album shifts from lush piano balladry to crushing industrial, and from swampy avant-garde compositions to triumphant rock freakouts. Employing vocal manipulation and field recordings, as well as cutting together studio recordings and home demos, the band produces a spatially elastic, collage-like effect. The album, like the ideas being reached within it, presents a work-in-progress. Lyrically, the record employs a scattershot style to present the experience of learning (or ‘unlearning’). The listener visits ancient civilisations, the Industrial Revolution, outer space and the land of the dinosaurs: encountering mediaeval farmers, silver miners, cavemen, Napoleon and Satan.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSpeaking on the record, the band say: “This album’s about trying to understand the world and everything in it: history, science and the way we explain it all to each other. It’s a celebration of feeling confused or intimidated by the processes that shape our lives.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOf the album’s muscular, agitated lead single ‘\u003cem\u003eRed Fibres\u003c\/em\u003e’, \u003cstrong\u003eLICE\u003c\/strong\u003e explain: “This song is about realising you’ve reached adulthood with a blinkered understanding of the world, and feeling confused and frustrated. After visiting some key moments in the history of language, science and the human eye, we arrive at a campsite: where two shipwreck survivors are about to have a fight.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AD 93","offers":[{"title":"LP - Vinyl - Dinked Edition #301","offer_id":48384518652249,"sku":"SDZ-21067","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Lice_-_Third_Time_At_The_Beach_-_LP_Vinyl_-_Dinked_Edition_301.jpg?v=1716453030","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/lice-third-time-at-the-beach","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
