MONOLITH COCKTAIL TOP 20 ALBUMS OF 2020 REVIEW


Lou Terry ‘If I’m Me Who Are The Other One’
(Metal Postcard Records)

A shallow bathe in the lost beauty of misery and of love lost and found, the power of gentle melodies and the light touch of the lyrical twist really cannot be underestimated, and the master of all those things is Lou Terry whose If I’m Me Who Are The Other One album is brimming with songs full of those qualities.

Recorded over the lockdown, like so much of the new music I’m listening to, it is graced – well with the grace and understanding and sublime loss that normally can be found in the outpourings of 80s Go Betweens and the obscure 70s home recordings of John Lennon. When Lou Terry’s voice cracks it is thing of true beauty as it does on ‘Sickly Peach’. You wonder how on earth he is not better-known; it has the same effect as spying a long-lost lover across the street and her shyly smiling the smile that breaks the passing of the years and in an instant you are eighteen and beholden, you are completely lost and once again under the power of her magical spell. And the beauty of this album achieves all this. It almost wants you to feel broken and betrayed lost and bewildered. If I’m Me Who Are The Other Three is the album to soundtrack the oncoming melancholy of autumn nights: a thing of great beauty. (BBS)




MONOLITH COCKTAIL


Lou says.....I’ve been making lots of new songs over lockdown, which I’ll be putting out as another album hopefully quite soon, but for now I felt it was important I released this collection of songs. Some of them are quite old, and although they are not all necessarily songs I would write now, I still like them and want to share them.

Thanks to everyone who has kindly contributed musically to this album, Malachi Siner-Cheverst on cello and bass, Jonny Poole on drums, Ruby Jack for singing on 'goodbye', Barnaby Goodman for saxophone on 'goodbye', Seth Evans and Richard Hunt for keyboard and piano on 'goodbye', Sona Koloyan for harmonium on 'goodbye' and 'the view', and Sam Plackett for electric guitar on 'crawl'
