LUNCH, LYDIA & PETIT, PHILLIPE
IN COMFORT EP (COMFORT ZONE)
Late Saturday night turns Sunday morning misty somewhere, someone is playing some strings... snatches of thoughts whispered a stolen text from dirty old Henry Miller the stereo scratches out a scrap of a poem penned to a dead man like a song to a lover who left without saying goodbye.
With the new release of "in Comfort" the duet of Lydia Lunch and Philippe Petit move out of the dark Psycho-Ambience of their previous "Twist of Fate" and into a more intimate atmosphere.
Using orchestral strings, vanguard soundscapes and collected field recordings to conjure up a dense, cinematic world, the sinister, yet inviting "in Comfort" mixes acoustic instrumentation with digital filtering, swaying and unfolding amid the psycho-film-noir syntax of a Lunchian universe.
