Album Review

Samara Lubelski
Future Slip Ecstatic Peace!

Article written by Ged M - Nov 12, 2009

Samara Lubelski: Future Slip

I’ve seen Samara Lubelski’s name on various albums in a supporting role (including with Thurston Moore, whose label she’s now on). But I was surprised to find that this is her fifth solo album. It’s so understated that it takes a couple of plays to reveal its qualities. The songs have a psychedelic buzz, aided by her floaty voice, which put me in mind of Espers (especially ‘Walking In The Waves’). But there’s also a European pop-feel evident on songs like ‘Culture King ‘66’, which sounds like Stereolab with fewer synths. Maybe it’s all a matter of geography (Samara is from New York but her second home is Stuttgart) but it all comes together on the final track, when those gentle Europop rhythms vye politely with a whispery psych haze in and out of which her vocals weave. It’s a little underwhelming but has a soothing charm that seeps out a little more on each spin.
