About the album
Lakes' debut self-titled album is a completely self-recorded affair, made at home on one-track tape decks. All overdubbing was achieved by putting the first track through Sean’s home stereo and playing along. Nevertheless, the sound on Lakes is huge, claustrophobic and powerful, sidestepping any issues of fidelity through sheer dynamism. The album alternates between structured works and more freeform, often instrumental performances. It includes an excoriating version of Song Of Investment Capital Overseas by late ‘70s highbrow prog-punks the Art Bears. The limited edition vinyl LP came with hand-screened covers but those are long gone.
