    As an exercise in mood and as an album of killer music, Lilacs & Champagne succeeds.

    It's sort of campy stuff, but it's gripping in its willful oddity.

    There are some missteps and some rookie mistakes here, but ultimately, the collaged beats and convergences of found sounds stumble onto brilliance more often than they fall to the wayside.
