La Costa Rasa
La Costa Rasa: Autopilot
This LP was compiled from three sessions recorded by the band and was
produced by Claire Shearsby, sound engineer and DJ at the legendary 'Phono' night club.
'Merciful Release' chose the tracks and mastered it up, releasing it in conjunction with'Rough Trade Germany'.
As well as drawing influence from the existing drum-machine bands of Leeds, singer Andrew had also worked as a Roadie for 'MDMA' and toured with them as they supported 'The Shamen', so was watching the beginnings of the rock/rave cross over.
The band toured Europe twice to promote the LP. It wasn't high on Rough Trades' Agenda but did well enough.
Despite demoing a number of songs,
La Costa Rasa never recorded a second LP.
