Restorations
(Philadelphia )
Restorations have always been a band keenly aware of their surroundings and LP5000 is just
that: Seven songs written and recorded during a time of transition. It’s a record about
displacement. It’s about feeling complacent and coming to the sudden realization that maybe
things aren’t as solid as they’d seemed—in politics, in personal relationships, and in the different
corners of their hometown of Philadelphia. It’s about knowing now that if you don’t constantly
work 24/7 to keep things together, they can easily fall apart. One long, sustained “Oh, fuck.”
Recorded with longtime collaborator Jon Low (The National, Frightened Rabbit, The War On
Drugs) over the course of a couple sessions at Long Pond in Hudson, NY, LP5000—which
reunites the band with Tiny Engines—is everything that fans have come to love about
Restorations: Anthemic heartland rock-and-roll replete with mile-wide riffs, psychedelic
chooglin’, and too many guitars. Over the course of production, the band took the time to
examine these seven songs, rip them apart, and rebuild them from the bottom up. It’d be easy
to define LP5000 simple terms: Restorations’ comeback record; the culmination of everything
they’ve worked toward as a band. But that would be disingenuous; this is a record that
completely exists in the present.
