An album of ballads, Lightning Dust know how to mix up the men’s and women’s vocals to give the listener some enjoyable tracks. Everything is very deliberate, and the effort is easy to spot when spinning the disc.
“Honest Man” is amazing. It has subtle synths in the background and delightful singing. It’s very well mixed.
Many of the tracks answer the question “What would happen if Hope Sandoval sang with a dude?” Amber Webber’s voice is more textured than Sandoval’s, but it works just fine here. “Waiting on the Sun to Rise” has several layers to it, and it plays well with Webber’s strengths. I cannot get over the fundamental strength this album has!
“Take It Home” is last and is slightly downtempo. Definitely something for fans of Portishead and Morcheeba. But regardless, every track is a gem. I can’t wait for these Canadians to visit us.
