Love And Rockets - Sweet F.A. - 2xLP Vinyl Record

Love and Rockets’s Sweet F.A. is a 1996 double LP that marks a guitar-forward shift guided by Rick Rubin. Crafted during the band’s stay at Rubin’s studio mansion, the era’s turmoil—fire damage to gear and demos—culminates in cover art that features a charred guitar salvaged from the wreckage.

Sonically, Sweet F.A. blends undulating, hypnotic rhythms with poignant lyrics exploring life and loss, while ethereal electronic textures braid through resonant guitars. The album nods to core influences—The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, and Can—creating a flowing, emotionally charged tapestry that rewards attentive listening.

This 2xLP edition captures the album’s expansive scope across four sides, presenting tracks that range from punchy bursts to more introspective passages. Several D-side entries carry asterisks, signaling additional depth and atmosphere within the sequence.
