LOST HORIZONS
IN QUIET MOMENTS
WW
BELLA UNION
★★★★
Former Cocteau Twin Simon Raymonde’s search for a vocalist as distinctive as Liz Fraser continues on Lost Horizons’ second album. He and partner Richard Thomas (Dif Juz) strike gold with Swedish newcomer Kavi Kwai on the ethereal Every Beat That Passed, while Dublin’s Gemma Dunleavy comes close on the mysterious Linger, as does a sumptuously serene Ren Harvieu on Unravelling In Slow Motion. Male voices are well showcased, too, especially John Grant and Midlake’s Tim Smith. Pearly dewdrops indeed.
