Britt Warner and Luke Costa “Love, Lust and Longing”

This six-track EP is great for a rainy day. Britt Warner’s voice reminds me of Alannah Myles on leadoff track “You Know You Can.” The sound is very stripped down and basic rock ‘n’ roll. The next track is “Elevator Eyes.” It is faster but still solid rock. They remind me of Picnic here.

“Feel Alive Go Numb” is slower and has Led Zeppelin-inspired guitar. And here Warner sounds like Paula Cole. Luckily it does not feel too slick, which can often be expected with such comparisons. “Slow Down” is a midtempo song, whose accompaniment reminds me of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Sometimes music sounds like nothing. These guys sound like a lot of things.

“This Is It” is another midtempo song. It’s a little better in the muggy afternoon sun with a nice glass of iced tea. Something seems to be missing here, as in maybe it’s too stripped down. Some sort of glue is needed to connected the guitar with the rest of the song.

“Belong Together” finishes it up, and it reminds me of Poe. Johnny would never have been angry if this Jezebel from hell were singing to him.

    Hey Joel!

    I just stumbled upon this review. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to ‘Love, Lust, and Longing’. I’ve never listened to half of the artists/bands you compared us to, but now I’ll have to!
