LUC’s single “Lost In Love” has a darkly sensual quality that permeates its pace, the layered synth melody, the sensitively sequenced low end, Joe Corcoran’s production generally, and Kari Kimmel’s languorously dynamic vocals. One can imagine the kind of love that Kimmel sings about being like one of those tunnels you can walk through at haunted houses and the like where your path is fixed but the tunnel itself turns and disorients your sense of gravity through stimulating your vision in the right way. The kind of love you’re not sure is good for you but it has you in its grip almost against your will and it in some ways warps your own sense of self. At the same time the song conveys a sense of how you sometimes have to just feel whatever it is you’re feeling to get through it and allow yourself to be changed by the experience even if on the surface it threatens to overwhelm you. The reverse progression at the end of the song signals an end to that dark, intense passage as though waking from a dream. And the song itself with its close atmospheres and ethereally distorted drones feels like a dream in which you are examining how you interact with the world and the people in it with whom you have the strongest emotional bands and in the moment it feels scary but at the end, with any luck, you wake having resolved an ineffable something.
