iTunes Review
Toronto’s Great Lake Swimmers are really the brainchild of Tony Dekker, whose gracious, unassuming melodies recall the reflective pastoral dreams of easy-listening ‘70s AM radio. This flowing pop-rock with folk underpinnings is filled with gorgeous touches where harmonies coalesce with sweet, small-room accompaniment. “Everything Is Moving So Fast,” with guest vocalist Serena Ryder, may be the way the “band” sees the outside world, but nothing rushes the approach, which was recorded at leisure in community centers, churches and anywhere the acoustics sounded right. “Palmistry,” “Pulling On a Line” and “The Chorus In the Underground” reflect a folk-rock that could be R.E.M., Miracle Legion, 10,000 Maniacs or Winter Hours back in their mid-‘80s heyday. Dekker’s voice also shares the lonesome ache of Talk Talk’s Mark Hollis as the slow weep of “Concrete Heart” creeps over the horizon. Flute, pianos, pedal steel, vibraphone and violin are added where necessary to augment the otherworldly atmosphere Dekker seeks.
Customer Reviews
Good follow up to Ongiara
This album is the album we have been waiting for. The whole album continues the tmosphere created by previous Gret Lake Swimmers albums. It is so chill. The folkiness is at an all time high. Plamistry is catchy and fresh, Everything Is Moving So Fast is the classic GLS style that is loved, She Comes to Me in Dreams is just fantastic. It is all great. I'm not sure why "Singer Castle Bells" was included, it is a bit weird. Concrete Heart is interesting, read the lyrics in the Digital Booklet. BUY THIS ALBUM! it is awesome.
Too good to pass up
I cannot let this album pass without a review. It is just too fabulous to overlook. Subtle in its scope, Lost Channels pulls you in each time you listen to it. It is an artfully woven tapestry of sound and like most great art each time you look at it you notice something new. Whether it is the sly pull of the lyrics, the blended harmonies and band playing or the orchestrations that thrown in to many of the songs, Lost Channels is the type of album you can listen to again and again.
Had to listen to it twice...
After listening to this twice, I am impressed. Not all of the CD is exceptionally well written, but there are a few gems here. Great sound. Great vocals. Definitely worth paying for.
