Life Without Buildings broke up in 2002 after releasing their sole album Any Other City. The band recorded a final song, 'Love Trinity,' which saw a limited Australian one-off release for Trifekta Records and remained largely unavailable in studio form. Glasgow label Errol's Hot Wax has unearthed the original studio recording and released it digitally on Bandcamp, with a vinyl pressing scheduled for November 21. The track grew in significance as a perceived swansong, built around Chris's bassline, featuring a delay guitar effect, a large guitar solo, and multi-tracked vocals by Sue that create a more atmospheric sound than prior dry live-sounding recordings.
"It's nice to mark 'Love Trinity,' as a song-it's always felt like it slipped through the cracks a bit. It was the last song we recorded, one of the last we wrote. We recorded it as a one-off single for Trifekta Records in Australia, to promote the tour we were going to do there. I think it felt quite different from the other stuff; it came out of Chris's bassline (which a lot of things did), and it had the delay effect on the guitar,"
"There's even a part where Sue's vocals are multi-tracked-so whereas all the previous stuff had deliberately been very dry and live sounding, it was more of a sort of atmospheric thing. I don't think it was anyone's favourite at the time, but a lot of people we knew loved it and said it was the best thing we'd done. For me it's taken on more importance over time, because it feels like a swansong, I guess."
