“With that MO in mind, Love to You doesn’t disappoint; an intriguing combination of both the conventional and experimental, across its 18 tracks (coming in at under 40 minutes) any standardised interpretation of structure is largely abandoned in favour of a sequence of lo-fi, post-punk vignettes loosely based around the themes of love and hate.”
While probably better known for his controversial Turner Prize-winning piece Work No. 227: the lights going on and off, Martin Creed has been making music for a while now. At the end of the Nineties he released an album with the band Owada, with more material coming under his own name in 2000. Sound has also been a regular feature in his art, from the appearance of metronomes and doorbells, through to a 70-minute production that featured endless repetitions of the five basic positions of ballet, with a soundtrack including ‘What’s the Point’, a song featured on Love to Youand one of the album’s highlights.
