Album Review: Lo Carmen - Everyone You Ever Knew (Is Coming Back To Haunt You)

StarStarStarHalf Star

"In sometimes dream-like southern gothic landscapes, there's melancholy, longing, and loss."

The key word would be the 'Haunt'. Because that's what Loene Carmen does.

Through a pedal steel's heat-haze the voice is wispy, lost in the moment. In sometimes dream-like southern gothic landscapes, there's melancholy, longing, and loss — but an unease you're never quite getting the whole story. The mirror's reflection of I Cut My Own Hair is one of Tennessee Williams' damaged heroines, as directed by David Lynch. Those Green Eyes may "have seen everything", but you still want to look into them. Intriguing, as ever.
