Murky instrumental waters start off the album's first song with a mysterious anticipation, broken by lead singer Zoe-Ruth Erwin's pure voice, strong and powerful.
Comparable stylistically to Florence + The Machine, Little Red Lung is dramatic--dark red curtains in a dimly lit theater, pierced with echoing vocals and wrapped in threadlike instrumentals.
Little Red Lung is a Los Angeles based band, something that I never would've expected California to produce after all the ska-punk bands I've heard that originated from there. But this little puff of fresh air comes out like a blooming night-rose; it's haunting and takes the stage with a sweep of its arms. Formed originally as a solo project, the band has since grown into a quartet of musicians working together to produce quietly theatrical songs that will move you.
