Louie Lemon - Le Mon


Artist: Louie Lemon        
Title: LeêMon EP
Self-released  / 2017

I love cassettes that capture the strange magic of a creative process; raw & real. Most of the songs on this cassette are sonically perfect for the medium of tape; they feel right at home floating out of an old Walkman where the batteries are running down, or crackling through a shortwave radio after midnight. These brief songs are musically & lyrically well crafted – guitar, percussion, keyboards, and a voice that is dusky and longing to be heard. There might even be a theremin (or is it musical saw?) woven into the mix. Three dollars very well spent!
