Smoke Notes

The New Zealand trio known as Lucid 3 are quickly gaining critical acclaim on these shores, and based on this album it is easy to see why. Its not simply that they have a stockpile of songs that effortlessly creep into your musical subconcious, but that the strands from which this band weave their musical tapestry is so undefinable yet compelling. They inhabit a genre all by themselves equal parts roots, blues, folk, pop, rock, trip-hop and whatever other pigeonhole you care to name. They fit in none and yet still have a sound that resonates with listeners of wildly varying tastes. In 2002, Lucid 3 released their debut album Running Down The Keys which featured the massive B-net & Juice TV hits Smooth Machine Fluid and Paradigm. Released independently but with strong word-of-mouth, the album achieved steady sales and much acclaim, helped by extensive national touring and a superbly delivered live show - an area this band truly shine. The release of All Moments Leading To This has been prefaced by the excellent single AM Radio, while the album itself builds naturally on the template provided by Running Down The Keys - a sonic palette that sounds organic yet modern, with sensual rythyms that loop and twist, and an expertly judged lyrical & melodic awareness that emphasizes Victoria Girling-Butcher considerable skills as one of New Zealands most gifted young singer songwriters. The Lazy Sunday-style of artist has come to the forefront over the past two years, and provide the precedent which will see Lucid 3 crossover onto mainstream radio. New Zealand audiences and radio programmers alike have shown a real appetite for the more tasteful and musicianly NZ tunesmiths such as Greg Johnson, Bic Runga, Brooke Fraser and especially Goldenhorse (whom Lucid 3 could be best compared). Based on this great pop album, it would appear 2004 will be the year of Lucid 3. Recommended.
