Love Travels At Illegal Speeds

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Transgressive Records
Release Date: 4th December

Another batch of Graham Coxon reissues and what a trip it's been going back to these records, spiky power pop one minute, Kinksian pop the next, post punk the next and each time absolutely slapping. 

Following the Top 20 success of 2004's Happiness In Magazines, Graham
Coxon reunited with producer Stephen Street for Love Travels At Illegal
Speeds
Originally released in March 2006, Coxon's sixth solo album delivers a white-knuckle
mix of '70s punk riffs and anthemic, power pop choruses, with the likes of 'I Can't Look
At Your Skin' and 'Gimme Some Love' indulging a hitherto unexplored talent for classic
rock guitar soloing.
"I thought Love Travels At Illegal Speeds was better than Happiness In Magazines in a
lot of ways," says Graham. "Sonically, it was getting a bit more sophisticated. I was
playing these simple guitar solos. I thought, Why not? In indie land, it's always like:
Nah, you don't do guitar solos! So it became a lot more traditional, sort of a late '70s
thing."
