Aug 6, 2014Somehow L’Amour sounds less there with each spin, beckoning you into its hazy world even as it dissolves into gray. The mystery is so perfect that it’d be a tragedy to solve it.
-
Aug 6, 2014Drumless and bassless, L’amour is as intimate as a late morning lie-in--bum notes (and there are an endaring few) are left completely in tact, you can hear shirt sleeves swipe against guitar strings, and the almost wordless vocals sound almost like Lewis is too scared to make his feelings known.
-
Aug 6, 2014Thirty years removed from its original release and sounding as though it could have been created at nearly any time during the intervening years, L’Amour will no doubt continue to prove a fascinating paradox for years to come.
-
Aug 12, 2014It’s a testament to the quality of the music on this reissue of a private press obscurity that it manages to live up to, if not transcend, its captivating backstory.
-
Aug 6, 2014The closer you listen, the more unsettling--and yet enticing--it all sounds.
-
Aug 6, 2014Ultimately, while Lewis himself remains an enigma, the music on L'Amour offers us a fascinating glimpse of a long-forgotten Canadian pop auteur.
