Ok, we start at the point this is an album, don't we? So, here we find a pile of songs, some dudes playing their instruments, and some things at a place. Then, if I'm talking about an album and I'm writing about its content, this must be a musical review, doesn't it? Oooop, if I'm wrong you just tell me I am, quietly, no problem. Well, once centered with the topic, let's begin strip the album. So here we have a new gothic work, with female vocals… I don't know why, but each time I write "gothic with female vocals" I have the sensation of a deja vu. Left Hand Solution aren't rookies in the scene, because they already have over eight years of musical career, although they haven't been much prolific in the field of the discographic releases.

And you'll ask me: what's the difference between this gothic band and all the rest? Well, don't suffer my little friends, I can find the difference between two water drops. The main distinction we find in this album is a kind of aureole of musical maturity, basically expressed in the voice of Miss Mariana Holmberg; this voice constantly transmits a vital experience feeling, of a woman who has seen things nobody else has, and who's returning from everything. All this vital and musical experience is also expressed in the music with some rock/blues stuff, which combined with the gothic result very interesting.

So, if you're wishing to listen to melancholic music but you're tired of so many soft and virginal voices, Left Hand Solution is a good option to complete your cd's collection.
