The ℒVℛS are Tairrie B & Mick Murphy of My Ruin.
When she's not screaming, Tairrie B is the voice and the words of The ℒVℛS. It's her ability to bravely go where many fear to tread lyrically that allows her to be so naked on these recordings while showing a side of her that has rarely been seen until now. Death becomes her as she strips down to the bare essentials vocally and assumes the identities of the women she has used as her inspiration by becoming them within her words and letting them become her yet never allowing the listener to forget that she is still who she is.
She is the narrator and the hater, lover and the fighter, victim and the survivor. She is also the killer, when and if she needs to be. There is nothing left to the imagination as she asks you to answer her questions. You are there with her and what you hear is what happened. Dripping with dramatic intent she uses her words to cultivate her own wicked garden of earthly nightmares intoxicating the ears with confessions of adult fantasies and childhood memories brought back to life by way of poetry.
Mick Murphy is the man behind the woman. Resurrecting her voice by creating a musical yet cinematic atmosphere that is both beautiful as it is brutal, he surrounds her sermons in soundscapes using subtle effects under selected spoken pieces while leaving only the harsh reality of her voice in others.
The ℒVℛS recordings are pleasantly uncomfortable and deliciously macabre uneasy listening. Imagine if you will, getting a letter filled with someone’s most inner secrets, exposing themselves to you and only you. This is the feeling that these records convey. Find your safe place. The place where you feel the most at home and put on your headphones, turn down the lights and just listen...alone with a friend, or with your lover. ♥

about
"Rock's resident queen of scream, embraces the spoken word."
As someone who has spent the greater part of her career screaming her lungs raw, you might not think a spoken-word project would be the obvious medium of choice for Tairrie B. As it turns out The LVRS [a two-piece partnership with My Ruin guitarist/husband Mick Murphy is possibly the best thing she's ever put her name to. Trading rage for slow measured menace and a dense sound pool of drones, cinematic passages and occasional rock backdrops, 'Death....'s trials of life, love and loss offer a newfound musical expanse and emotional weight [Laundry is stark account of her grandmothers suicide that eclipses her previous output in one bloodied stroke]
For Fans of: Henry Rollins & Lydia Lunch

“Not for the faint of heart. Warm hands. Cold Blood.
Where do I start?” Equal parts Masterpiece Theatre and Silence of the Lambs, the macabre new record by The LVRS is like a grisly accident you can’t tear your eyes from. Adhering to the mission statement that "Sometimes a whisper is more frightening
than a scream", Tairrie's voice rarely rises above the magnetic purr she utilizes so well. She doesn't need to be more forceful however, because from the first moment of 'Deep In A Mood' your ears are stapled
to the speakers hanging onto every fascinating syllable. Tairrie's words are frame worked by the atmospheric instrumentation of her significant other, Mick Murphy. 'Death Has Become Her' is not for the casual listener.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Real life LVRS Tairrie B and Mick Murphy have created something truly unique and so personal that they may as well of cut out their hearts and packaged them up in a box sealed with a pretty red ribbon. 'Death Has Become Her' is a harrowing album, which comprises of emotionally scorned and private non - fiction that requires you to truly listen and soak up what's being told and shared with you. If you're expecting a My Ruin album - you wont find it here - instead you will find eerie intense musical backgrounds created by the talented Mick Murphy and accompanied by the husky yet deadly serious and masochistic voice of Miss B. This album is a
conglomeration of tracks from 2 previous self released cd's from The LVRS back catalogue 'The Murder of Miss Hollywood' and 'Lola Burns' -which were until now only sold via the band themselves on merch stalls and through their website. A record like this is a gem, and one that requires absolute attention, preferably whilst alone or with your lover as you sip on wine and let real life emotion pour into you from the depths of a distant relationship comprising of Love, Violence, Religion and Sex. The LVRS are the past, present and fascinating future you need to be a apart of this.

This dazzling spoken-word album is a side project for
two of the members of LA rockers My Ruin, with the singer in Tairrie B doing the talking and musician Mick Murphy providing the background noise Tairrie also rants something chronic about the money-obsessed workings of the music industry. Her monologues
have the power to potentially brainwash, and the content that plagues some of the tracks will be the stuff of some people's worst nightmares.
Surely 'Death Has Become Her' will go down a storm with My Ruin fans. Just because Tairrie is talking rather than singing doesn't in any way diminish the power of her entrancing voice. When she opens her mouth, it's impossible not to listen, and some of the things that she comes out with can be regarded
as sheer poetry, with the murderously moody 'The First Time' and 'The Romance Is Dead' ('I don't trust you but I enjoy the way you lie') Tairrie's honesty is irresistible, and the idea to pursue this project has certainly been worth the effort, as I hope you'll agree.

'Death Has Become Her' has a totally unique sound
and you find yourself stopping what you are doing to listen to 'Tairries' every word. Its not the kind of album you're going to listen to loudly time and time again, but when your alone and in peace. If your expecting something that sounds similer to 'My Ruin' you will be totally dissapointed but im pretty sure hardcore 'My Ruin' fans will totally love this release
as you get to hear 'Tarries' vocals in a totally
different way for 60 minutes and hear some dark tales.

The side project of My Ruin's Mick Murphy and Tairrie B is an incredibly peculiar side project indeed.
Closer to an elaborately produced and soundtrack-backed audio book, "Death Has Become Her" is really just a collection of tales about love and death as read by Tairrie B. "I will never be unfaithful… no matter how many times they fuck me, rape me, or imitate me," is delivered with such spite that it instantly sets the mood for the remaining 22 tracks – and it's not a
comfortable one. With an album of this nature you can look at it in one of two ways; as an interesting alternative to regularly released music or as an
over-priced film without pictures – though either way,
you have to respect their determination to be different. The atmosphere and underlying melody occasionally gives the impression of classy Sin City style narration.
-ROCK SOMETHING
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The new LVRS album has affected me way more
than I thought it would. It made me cry for an hour straight. It is so beautiful. So brutal. It hurts to listen to… but you can’t stop listening. It’s like reading someone’s diary that you know you shouldn’t be reading, but it’s so captivating, you can’t put it down.

So when was the last time you really, properly,
listened to an album? When it wasn't the background
noise and you gave every word your undivided attention? The LVRS, better known as My Ruin's Mick Murphy and Tairrie B are a band who demand that sort of attention from their listener, not to mention the strength of mind, and stomach, to handle some dark places and personal demons. The LVRS challenging, often uncomfortable, spoken word is an acquired taste, but for those who don't want what they put on their stereo to challenge them there's James Blunt. For those still willing to invest some emotion, thought, and a whole lot of love, in their music there are rich rewards to be reaped by working through the many intricate layers to this record. As much an anthology of scary tales, ghosts stories (Caspar-style and some more personal specters of the past) and the odd dark romance as it is an album 'Death Has Become Her' invites you to turn the lights low and hang on every word. Frighteningly good stuff.
