Synopsis

Album Description

"Imagine Neutral Milk Hotel crashing into Sufjan Stevens and you'll almost get the idea." -- Everybody Cares The third official recording from Loch Lomond, Paper the Walls, could just as well be a debut. It is one of those rare albums that has the power to leave a deep imprint on the listener. Recorded at Portland's Type Foundry with Adam Selzer (Norfolk & Western), and at Skyler Norwood's (Point Juncture, WA) picturesque SE Washington studio, the album is rich with detail while retaining an uncommon sense of space. The songs have a pastoral quality; they are simple in form but saturated with tone and texture, conjuring a sense of wonder and bemusement. Long a popular fixture of the Portland music landscape, Loch Lomond finally has an album that matches the lush intensity of its live performances. This is a respected band that is gathering force to bring its gorgeous tidal waves of sound to a much wider audience.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first heard (of) Loch Lomond at a Decemberists concert, for which they were opening. They absolutely blew me away. They have an amazing group dynamic: every one of them is uniquely charming, but they manage to be very cohesive, weaving melodies around each others' instruments. (Also, I got a bit of a crush on the xylophonist.)

After the concert, these guys were out back, selling Paper the Walls. Man, that was so cool, buying a CD directly from the band. It'll be a great story to tell once they're enormously famous.

This CD is superb. I don't even know how to describe it...ethereal, I suppose. At times it's delicate, and at times very heavy. Very folky overall. A bit like Iron & Wine, only vaster and more subtle, if that makes any sense. They all work so well together. It's fine music.

I want to say that Carl Sagan and A Field Report are the best songs, but really I don't know if that's true. I rarely get past them whenever I listen--because of going back to play them again, that is.

Basically: I lose CDs all the time. I've lost this one twice, and I've bought it again both times. That's how good it is. I really want to have it, and I really want these guys to make money. Go get it! You won't be disappointed."
