  • Life Without Buildings was a Glasgow, Scotland based indie rock band. The band, mostly ex-students of the Glasgow School of Art, formed during the summer of 1999. The band initially consisted of Will Bradley (drums), Chris Evans (bass) and Robert Johnston (guitar). Painter Sue Tompkins (vocals) joined later that year. Sue's "talk-sung" vocals eventually became the band's most famous attribute. Impressed after their first London gig, the Rough Trade-affiliated Tugboat label asked the band to record a debut single on the label. Released in March 2000, "The Leanover" b/w "New Town" secured the band a full deal with the label. The band released two more singles on the label. The band's debut, Any Other City, recorded by Scottish producer Andy Miller, was released in 2001 in the UK; DCBaltimore 2012 issued it months later in the United States. In May 2007 a live album was released in Europe called Live at the Annandale Hotel on the Gargleblast Records label. The album has subsequently been released in North America on Absolutely Kosher Records in August 2007. The band broke up in 2002 for unknown reasons. Although existing for only a brief 3 years, Life Without Buildings has developed a strong underground following, with their only LP Any Other City widely admired in many critical circles.
  • Life Without Buildings était un groupe de post-punk de Glasgow du début des années 2000. Malgré une carrière de courte durée et un succès confidentiel le groupe ce fit remarquer par un brillant premier (et unique) album sorti en 2001, Any Other City. Il reste encore remarquer grâce au chant de Sue Tompkins qui vaut au groupe des comparaisons avec le groupe anglais The Fall.
