The enormous success of Mamma Mia! as a feelgood karaoke movie obscures the acute insights Abba brought to the art of the break-up song.

Despite the universal “blueprint that says boy meets girl”, former music journo Martin Fry is struggling in his quest to find love’s “real McCoy”, and contends, in his angsty croon, that tears are not enough to prove that a girl’s emotions are genuine.

This EP is only available as a download via Bandcamp (see player below).Whether in its original, spare funk version or the orchestrated Trevor Horn take that appeared on the classic The Lexicon of Love album, this debut single provided a fine showcase for the sophisticated romanticism of the Sheffield popsters. for a dirty trashy rendition and RESTRICTION 9 for a turbo dancefloor rework… Title-song “The Thrill” also gets released in 4 additional different flavours through the radical remix work of JUNKSISTA for an electro version, BLEEDING CORP. “The Thrill” is the first single taken from their forthcoming album “Japanese Robot Invasion” announced by Alfa Matrix for this autumn… With its intelligent mixture of haunting dark atmospheres, catchy wave pop synth tunes and full on trashy guitar assaults beautifully lead by LadyHell’s unique expressive female vocals, this highly dynamic new song will surely wet your appetite for some more LOVELORN DOLLS sonic injections! “The Thrill” is bound to become an instant classic hit on all dark electro / goth metal dancefloors! The band also reveals here a second new song with the more moody “Miss Friday Night” released here in a laid-back radio mix by Singapore based label mates COSMIC ARMCHAIR.

Since last year’s release of their highly acclaimed debut album “House Of Wonders”, Belgium’s act LOVELORN DOLLS have been very active in studio preparing their follow-up full length release together with new producer maXX, studio guru from cult-band HELALYN FLOWERS.
