MH-057 A Lull - Confetti Reprise  Confetti Reprise is a continuation of the sound that pop psychedelic group A Lull shaped and perfected for their debut release. In the process of writing and recording Confetti, the band accumulated almost 70 finished and partially-finished songs before narrowing it down to the final tracklist. A Lull choose only those songs that they were thoroughly satisfied with – and then realized that the album was 20 minutes too long. Emphasizing song flow over all other factors, four songs were eventually removed. As a testament to the quality of the music, the decision process was laborious and any of the songs could easily have made the final album. As the tracklist discussions were happening, it was clear that whatever was cut would need to eventually be released. Holding true to the percussion-driven voice that makes A Lull’s music unique, Confetti Reprise gathers this material, and confirms that the sweet harmonies and dynamic rhythms created by A Lull are only a taste of what the band has to offer. |

| Another winner from A Lull. Imagine if Beck fronted the band Sigur Rós, and stole Peter Gabriel’s African beats from “Rhythm of the Heat” and you’re on the way to digging the sound. A Lull is in phenomenal company with “Pot Luck”. The track is lyrically simple, even repetitive (more robust lyrics might have enhanced the track), but the lyrics combine that with primal, driving rhythms and unique ambient noises for a stand out tune. Chicago's A Lull comprises five multi-instrumentalists whose experimental music blurs the lines between the synthesized and the organic. The result is finely crafted, experimental, electro indie pop. This five-piece began when the former bands of Nigel Dennis and Todd Miller broke up in 2008, leading the two off on their own journey of musical discovery. The duo lured Mike Brown home from his Boston gig, and they got to work. The trio was then joined by Ashwin Deepankar and Aaron Vincel to complete the band. “Pot Luck” can be found on the soon-to-be-released, Confetti Reprise EP. The EP mashes together layers of guitars, bass, electronics and vocals with lots of joyous drum-banging (not to mention some trashbag-rustling and glass bottle-throwing). - In Your Speakers |
