LOVERLESS are pushing the envelope with their new record. Nothing Under the Sun will be initially released at an October 10 show at the Big Easy, where attendees will receive cards with instructions on downloading the record, which can only be listened to initially as two extended tracks, an A side and a B side. Telling the story of a man from Virginia who suffered seven separate lightning strikes over the course of his life, the songs will eventually be released in individual form online, and then an LP of the album will be released in December. Listen for 20-gauge shotguns used as instruments.
