Lowlife - Rain 12''[Mini Album]

In the autumn of 1985 Lowlife entered Palladium Studios in Edinburgh to record Rain, their debut mini-album, six songs of blistering atmospheric post-punk that surges from strength to strength. Part of the sheer confidence audible throughout doubtless derives from the experience most of the group already had under its belt; singer Craig Lauritson, guitarist Stuart Everest, and drummer Grant McDowell had already been playing together in Dead Neighbours, while bassist Will Heggie had already gained fame as one of the original Cocteau Twins. Their working together proved to be lightning in a bottle, with Lauritson's dramatic but inviting croon and Everest's guitar heroics contrasting perfectly with the steady, powerful rhythm section. The six-song Rain made for a striking start to the group, with a lot of tense energy bubbling up throughout, perhaps most strikingly on the fierce "Sense of Fondness."
