| Details: |
Luna: Stanley Demeski (drums); Dean Wareham, Justin Harwood, Sean Eden. Additional personnel: Laetitia Sadier (vocals); Tom Verlaine (guitar, 12-string guitar). Producers: Luna, Pat McCarthy, Mario Salvati. The CD includes the unlisted track "Bonnie And Clyde." Putting on Luna's PENTHOUSE is like stepping into a warm bath. The coziness of Dean Wareham's and Sean Eden's twin chiming guitars, the resonant bass, the simple drum lines, all serve to seduce and relax. As on Luna's first two releases, Wareham's songwriting is clever and on-target, relying on simple chord progressions and memorable hooks, while skirting cliche. The shuffling melody of the album's opener, "Chinatown," for instance, is a fine example of Wareham's memorable songcraft and the band's shimmering dream-pop. The rest of the album follows suit, with the lovely, floating ballad "Lost in Space" and the up-tempo, almost-danceable "Double Feature" among the highlights. There is some particularly strong guitar work on PENTHOUSE, thanks in par... |
