Album Review: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez - Some Need It Lonely

Some Need It Lonely is a morose study of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez' creative process.

Within you will find the deathbed croon of We Might, the percussive synth array of Sanity A Dream and a slow osmosis in Zophiel. The series comes to an end by raising as many questions as were answered throughout: which ideas and motifs were passive and fleeting? Which were thoroughly thought out? This is the genius of Rodriguez-Lopez, keeping the listener as intrigued as they are entertained, as is evident in the fluttering tempo of Archangel Trophy, with bewitching vocals from Teri Gender Bender.
