With their rugged blend of punk, emo, and post-hardcore, Hot Water Music had established themselves as a force to be reckoned with as far back as their 1997 debut album Fuel for the Hate Game. At first they had a loose, spindly sound, but they started to tighten things up on 2001's A Flight and a Crash (their first for Epitaph and first with producer Brian McTernan) and then they fully streamlined things with the following year's Caution (also on Epitaph and with Brian).
The record also features a a duet from Andy Shauf and Madi Diaz, a pair of tracks from the bird and the bee (Inara George and Greg Kurstin, who also appear in the film), and a rendition of "The 12 Days Of Christmas" from cast member Dominic Sessa. Released by Mutant along with Sony Music Soundtracks, the special vinyl edition arrives on 140-gram candy cane color vinyl with exclusive artwork, plus liner notes written by Oh. What. Fun. director and co-writer Michael Showalter.
"If I had a new episode of Gilmore Girls for every request I've gotten over the years to release the 'La La's' score for fans of the show, I would be beyond happy. But now I am thrilled to say that Warner Bros Television & WaterTower Music asked me to put together an album of those La La's for any and all who want them,"
The album blends euphoric, emotionally charged techno with deep Detroit influence, drawing inspiration from pioneers such as Rolando, Underground Resistance, Robert Hood, Floorplan, Orbital, Underworld, Future Sound of London, and Bicep. Frazi.er's signature train track percussion drives the record forward, creating hypnotic intensity while weaving in moments of raw emotion and euphoric release.
