Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
You've got to credit Dean Wareham--he knows what he does best. On Romantica, Luna's sixth studio album, the former Galaxie 500 singer-songwriter continues to mine inspiration from the same triumvirate of moody guitar bands he has always coveted--Television, the Velvet Underground and the Soft Machine . But it's hard to complain when the results are as engaging and euphoric as Romantica. Buoyed by chiming chords, sweeping melodies and that distinctive soft-focus voice, songs like "Black Champagne" and "Rememories" are among some of his finest compositions to date. On the latter, Wareham sings, "It's been a long long long..." But with him, the journey has rarely been dull. --Aidin Vaziri
CD Description
After Luna bassist and founding member Justin Harwood left the band at the turn of the millennium, Britta Phillips tookhis place, and a new chapter of the band began. ROMANTICA, the group's sixth studio recording, is the document of a recharged band. All the familiar elements are in place--dizzying twin guitars, comfort-food melodies, and playful, if downcast, lyrics. But thanks to Gene Holder's gleeming productionand Dean Wareham's skilled and emotionally resonant songcraft, Luna reaches new levels of lushness here.
Luna's trademark mellow grooves show up in "Lovedust" and the beautiful"Black Postcards", but ROMANTICA displays a wide range of colours. Heavily tremoloed guitar snakes through the countryish, slightly surreal "Renee Is Crying", while strident drumslash out in the jealous rage of "1995". The swooning waltz "Swedish Fish", a song of regret, longing, and sensual delight, is one of the prettiest songs in the Luna canon. Arguably the group's most melodic album, ROMANTICA captures Luna atits peak.
