Lost Horizons: Five Months EP 'What's Up! Magazine' CD Review:
CD Reviews – November 2010 – Lost Horizons: 5 Months EP
•Posted by Boris Budd on 11/17/10
Lost Horizons brings it on their 5 Months EP with a tight, rhythm based collection of well-crafted songs. I was immediately impressed by Josh Harris’s guitar work and singing. (Josh is the brother of Idiot Pilot’s Michael Harris) Josh’s vocal styling’s have an uncanny similarity to those of the great Thom Yorke, which began to gnaw at me a little bit after a few listens, but were very solid nevertheless.
The group creates a rich, dark tone, which suits their dramatic delivery well in songs like “The Antagonist” and “Ashes in June.” In addition to the standard instrumentation, a violin was also an integral part of the record, acting almost like a second guitar at times that played solos in that vein. The bass and drums were not in the mix as much as the other parts, yet they were in perfect tandem, especially when they were brought out by feedback driven jams that the band tended to go into numerous times to my delight during the CD.
Check out this group on bandcamp or live whenever you can make the time.
