Vinyl LP pressing. 2008 sophomore album from the English guitar Pop trio. Since forming in 2004, The Lodger has thrilled informed Pop lovers with their special brand of classic English guitar pop. Starting with a string of four singles and culminating in their brilliant debut album, Grown-Ups, the band has gone from strength to strength, developing a polished, literate sound that shows a keen interest in critical pop touchstones like the Go-Betweens, Aztec Camera, and Orange Juice but is still planted firmly in today. As great as Grown-Ups is, Life Is Sweet ups the ante even further. More textural and varied than it's predecessor, Life Is Sweet is still filled with gorgeous melodies and catchy tunes, but is also deeper and more thoughtful, full of emotional peaks and valleys. Slumberland.
