“40 years on and the guitars still try to strangle each other, the words still struggle to make sense of chaos and the rhythms drive us to a glorious destination.”
~David Wolfenden of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry
“Strange Kind of Paradise,” the forthcoming and final album by the seminal post-punk band Red Lorry Yellow Lorry will be officially released COP International in July. “Strange Kind of Paradise” was almost two decades in the making. Many fans had long given up hope that it would ever see the light of day — but here we are, with the final recording that completes Red Lorry Yellow Lorry’s storied body of work. The band from Leeds, England has certainly matured, but they have lost none of their edge and swagger. “Strange Kind of Paradise” still burns with the raw intensity that made Red Lorry Yellow Lorry so compelling in the first place. The album thrashes against the chaos of modern life, wrestling with themes of disillusionment, survival, and fleeting transcendence. Arriving on the heels of the acclaimed EP “Driving Black,” released in late 2024, the album “Strange Kind of Paradise” is available for preorder in advance of the July release via Bandcamp from COP International in both a limited edition vinyl and CD version along with all digital and streaming platforms. The song “Walking On Air” is available for streaming exclusively on Bandcamp.
