Imagine the scene..it's 1967 at Abbey Road and George Martin is sorting out the Sgt Pepper string arrangements. It's snowing outside and in walks a shivering Phil Spector. He's got a pretty girl in tow. She wanders over to the mike and starts to sing a song called "Listen to the Bells Ring". George and Phil look at each other. "Let's do some recording." says Phil......
OK, it didn't happen like this but it could have. Lost Winter's Dream is that kind of album. Perfect pop drawing on classic influences to create a fragile little masterpiece that anyone with an ear for the Beatles, Spector, Brian Wilson, 60's girl groups and Dusty Springfield can't fail to fall in love with.
Superficially, it's an xmas album but don't let that put you off. The songs - mainly written by Ms Mychols - are beautifully crafted throughout and the playing and arrangments primarily by messers Sahanaja and Walusko of Wondermints fame are exemplary, inventive and touching. It's all topped off by Ms. Mychols breathy vocals that manage to sound totally innocent and sexy at the same time.
Apparently it was recorded in the early 90's and has been in hiding since. Lucky for you, this Lost Winter's Dream has finally been found.

I bought this CD 'blind' without having heard anything from it. I am glad I did. If you like the Beach Boys, Phil Spector and of course the wonderful Wondermints, you will simply adore this collection of beautifully original songs.
Yes - it's a Christmas album but don't let that put you off. The music is good enough to play any time. The title track, all Brian Wilson/Phil Spector/Wondermints rolled gloriously into one of my favourite songs of all time - the rest not far behind.
What a debut, Lisa. Stunning.

That this is in reality a Christmas album should not deter anyone from buying it. Lisa Mychols, in conjunction with various Wondermints, has created an album of real beauty and enchantment.
Ms Mychols has a vocal style which is hard to convey. She can move from soulful heartfelt ballads to fun Beach Boyesque pop harmonies with ease and the song on this album cover a range of styles sounds and influences.
There is an empathy running through these songs and Christmas is merely a peg to hang them on. Take the Christmas motif away and you would still have an excellent collection of songs about love, belief, hope and humour.
If you can't wait for Christmas treat yourself to an early present with this treat.
