ION INDIE MAGAZINE January 2017, Volume 32 | Page 86

The opening track, “Beth Anne”, has resonating drums that are complimented by the rich seductive tones
of vocalist ABIGAIL ZIERING...gloom and doom served on a very palatable plate. The song is reminiscent of
the band TYPE O NEGATIVE...delishiously moody! Equally dark, is the song “Persephone”—which flirts with
the listener, beckoning with the beguile of Morticia Adams.
I really love “Morning Star”—with it’s
BLACK SABBATH boldness...and gritty
riffs to match. Another highlight of this
album is “Entanglement”—with its
NIRVANA-esque echoes.
In “Shady Side” you will be drawn to the
dirty sounds of this musical shotgun
wedding of blues and punk—presided over
by psychodelic guitars. “Kitsune”
presents as a more straight-up, in-yourmelting-face rock song—with all the
necessary elements—with a detectable
KING CRIMSON influence noticeable in
the track. It truly takes the listener on a
journey with the song’s building
crescendo—that then deposits them
unceremoniously...no warning and no
apologies. Thank you, ma’am...I’ll have
some MORE of that mystery meat, please.
“Midian” is characterised by a change-up in the style of guitarwork in the opening...almost heralding a
softer side of Luna Lacuna...but nope...it gets heavy—after luring you into the false premise of a balladic
lullabye. “Glitter and Blood” is pouty and playful...in a possessed “send-me-to-hell” sort of way. It’s rawer—
where the lyrics are deliberate...as if punctuated with spittle.
I listened the whole album more than a few times...really delving into the sounds. The verdict? I highly
recommend the songs of the unique and eclectic English band—that goes by the name Luna Lacuna. They
possess great style and a scintillating sound that is undefinable—which in today’s cookie cutter music
scene, is refreshing to find.
