code orange, formerly known as code orange kids, came into my life completely out of a clear sky. the band's name and the album cover of 'i am king' was all about the net at the end of 2014. at first i didn't gave a damn but after quite some time with no sign of the hype dying down, i gave them a try. it was well worth it. the record was a cracker. still is.
so i said to myself to get previous stuff too. 'love is love...' wasn't high priority, though, because a re-press after the success of 'i am king' was floating around. i assumed deathwish pressing a shit load of them and so i wasn't in a hurry. again it was on one of my regular visits at burnout store, hamburg where this beauty and i crossed paths.
'love is love...' needed some more time to unfold its full glory. while 'i am king' was an initial hit, code orange's first full length is a grower. the record is pretty demanding but it pays off after several spins. nevertheless it won't outgun its successor but better this way than the other. check out 'nothing (the rat)' and 'liars//trudge'. clear orange with a nice black smudge. don't know how many were made. deathwish inc. 2012.
