Irish emigre Shane Harrington, formerly of Limrock math-punks We Come in Pieces, has been keeping himself busy since heading to New York a few years back. Aside from math band A Year and Change and solo electronic project OST, he’s been brooding on noise side-project Love Addict. It pulls precisely zero punches. Self-recorded and self-performed, it draws on a rich vein of sludge and math-rock angularity.
Love Addict is the noise-rock experiment of New York based musician Shane Harrington (OST, A Year And Change, We Come In Pieces). Script For A Man was recorded, mixed and performed by Shane in its entirety, and deals with themes of mental illness, addiction and urban sprawl. This lo-fi punch to the throat takes its cues from acts such as Kylesa, Whores and These Are Powers while maintaining its own unique math-tinged approach. Script For A Man is the experimental soundtrack to what it might feel like to grow up in the western world in 2015.

That’s not all, mind – opening track ‘Craving a JPEG’ comes with a sock-puppeted video and all, also self-performed and self-directed. It’s fairly wacky to say the least, and can be streamed below.
