5.0 out of 5 stars I want this album to be the soundtrack to my life, October 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Here Comes Winter (Audio CD)

I bought my first Parker and Lily cd after seeing them play at Brownies in the East Village. They were so dreamy and hypnotic that I actually left a rock club relaxed and happy. Here Comes Winter is sophisticated and luxurious. It serves as excellent background music but is also edgy and alluring and deserves to be listened to on big cushy headphones in the dark. All music supervisors for movies and television should listen to this CD.

a few years back i caught `parker and lily' at the knitting factory (in nyc), and i've been stalking them ever since. the word `Lynch-ian' gets bandied about a fair amount these days, but this is something the ol' boy scout could really lose an ear over. sly, preoccupied, glum but with a bit of glitz--insert your lounge hipster cliche here, but rest assured that you'll soon be head over heels like me. it's the music, dummy; ignore the rest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wrapped In A Blanket of Analog Goodness, October 2, 2002

Just picked up a copy of Parker and Lily's "Here Comes Winter" and it is now officially in HEAVY rotation chez moi! This is a great album to listen to really loud or with headphones, not because this is "loud music" per se but because the songs are so lovingly performed and the production really lets each instrument and reverb-drenched vocal breathe...creating so many textures. Such a rich patina of subtleties! Listening to this album is like wrapping yourself in an analog blanket of warm and rich tones and timbres. Some of the songs have vocals and some are instrumentals and each one gives off a unique mood, sometimes dark...sometimes comforting and sometimes both simultaneously. It seems that many of the songs would fit perfectly in a film score. Personal favorites include "Motel Lights," "Violet In Violet," "You are My Matinee" and "Hello Halo."

I think I've found my personal soundtrack for this coming cold and lonely season...
