Lookup:
'The Black Lake' takes Louis Jucker deep into the woods in Canada as he goes on a dark yet spirited trip to John Fahey's, whilst ever so gently indulging in Badly Drawn Boy's ethics. He surfs on snares as echoing hauntingly beautiful, and rather gothic, harmonies are mixed in with spicy electronic samples. Each of the eight tracks consists of snappy nu-folktronica tunes, each one striving for a higher standard in delicacy.
At times, you can hear flaws on the tape recording, hence this review reflects on the cassette tape's re-release on compact disc. Never spoiling the moment, these eight tracks range from the frisk and brisk opening track 'A Private Note to the Winter Ghost' to the un-jangling 'Tambourine' at the close of the album. This splendid re-issue pays tribute to a forgotten little masterpiece.
Track Listing:
01) A Private Note to the Winter Ghost
02) The Black Lake
03) Story-Tellers
04) Three Little Steps in the Dark
05) My Best Friend Is a Tiger
06) Six Deers on Our Way Home
