LOTTO

Listening to LOTTO is a heavenly immersive experience. When I listen to this album, I feel as if I am wading into an infinite pool in an ancient cave, lit by naught but a scant shaft of moonlight peering in through a slim skylight of indiscernible origin. There is no thought to where, why, or even who. My mind is filled instead with lush instrumentation that softly envelops my ever fold. There is no beginning nor end, but rather simple, earnest being. Each strum, each beat, each and every moment, in of itself, strikes a remarkable balance of isolated significance, and yet, seamless entwinement.

In other words, LOTTO has that special sauce where it effortlessly embodies cohesion without sacrificing the ability of any song, hell any mere moment, to dazzle in its own right.

The effect of all this is a listening experience that is otherworldly in a way few other albums achieve: one characterized by immensity, and subtlety. It is an experience that makes me feel as if I am vividly reliving a flashback to a memory I both never had before, and am just now living. As if the intensity of the sensations washing over me is strong enough to reach through time and space itself. It’s a pretty sick record.
