This review is from: Lament for Children (Audio CD)
I picked up Lament for Children after seeing Loch Lomond in Portland. I was intrigued by the live performance. That was about 4 months ago. Since then I haven't stopped listening to the tastfully produced album. It's sophisticated musically yet humble- folky but also edgy. Rich layers keep it fresh and interesting.

This review is from: Lament for Children (Audio CD)
Loch Lomond is definitely strange. I wasn't sure if I liked their first album or not; certain songs were brilliant while others were boring or over my head. The band was in a state of flux for a time, though, and that probably serves as the explanation, because now they are a full-fledged, six person band, and this EP they've released is incredibly good. I don't even have all the songs and I can tell you that it's a 10, or possibly a 9. "Bird and a Bear" is wonderfully weird, "Tic" is probably the highlight, "Virgin Mountain" has some really wicked lyrics, and the rest are just as good. It sucks that they are not more popular, but maybe, if word spreads, their next LP (due out sometime this year) will be a bigger seller for them. I can already tell that it's going to be better than this, and that's saying something.
