Biography
Sean Cook and Mike Mooney parted company from Jason Pierce in 1999 ending what was widely regarded as the greatest live group of a generation. Spiritualizeds sold out show at the Royal Albert Hall in the autumn of 1997 gained legendary status and established them as leaders in their field.

For the rest of 99, (bar a short spell helping Massive Attack out in the studio with their next album), Sean and Mike formed Lupine Howl and worked extensively on new material. The first fruits of which appeared at the start of 2000 in the form of a debut single on their own Vinyl Hiss label. A sharply paranoid song about being on tour, being on drugs and dealing with customs, Vaporizer slid a tight Spencer Davis Group groove around a recycled Parliament riff to devastating effect. When it subsequently went on to shift three and a half thousand copies in two days, and gain Single of the Week in the NME, the band were shocked. It was the perfect launch-pad.

They followed up in late February with a well-received show in London (where, with Damon Reece on drums, they were augmented by Portishead associates Adrian Utley and John Baggott), and then with another single on Vinyl Hiss (the more expansive Bronzage). This was to be the catalyst for them signing a deal with Beggars Banquet in April, and since then having set up their own studio in Bristol they concentrated on recording their debut LP.

The album, The Carnivorous Lunar Activities of Lupine Howl was released on April 16th 2001. Sean already knew that he wanted the record to be fairly snappy. Theres a trend for putting 14 or 15 tracks on an album these days, and loads of it seems to be filler. Its going back to that whole Pink Floyd/Genesis vibe. I cant listen to anyone for more than an hour so I dont see why anyone else should.
They had by now been joined full time by Johnny Mattock (Spacemen 3/Spiritualized) on drums.

The first indication of just how good that album is arrived in October 2000 in the form of a single, 125. Fast, looped and punky, it picked up where the circular rhythms of Vaporizer left off. It was backed by two other excellent tracks (the strung-out soul of Tired, and the sparser atmospherics of Swell) that showcased the diversity Lupine Howl are striving for, and offers a hint at what they ultimately might achieve. With Adrian Utley now departed to record the next Portishead album, they were now joined by Alex Lee (Strangelove/Suede) for an explosive series of live shows in the UK and Europe with Damon Reece on percussion.

Lupine Howl spent the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002 recording their second album, The Bar At The End Of The World. The album is released in the US through Beggars Banquet in February 2003.

still this countrys best rock rhythm section no contest, NME.

Sounds like these inhabit a unique plain in your consciousness, attacking you from every direction, astounding you, while at the same time hinting at possibilities still untouched by the music, Melody Maker. Comments (0)
