This month has produced so many great albums. It has made it really hard to choose just one favourite but the début album from Childhood is definitely one of the best. Other great albums that are worth listening to are Merchandise - After The End, J Mascis - Tied To A Star and Beach Day - Native Echoes to name just a few. Overall Lacuna has a spaced out sound which is shown especially in the vocals and the guitar. The latter sound ranges from upbeat and bouncy to more of a deep and powerful feeling but always has that distinct Childhood dreamy style. I first got into this band after seeing them a couple of times live and they put on awesome performances and their live sound translates really well in this album. I have chosen to show off Solemn Skies because it is one of the longer tracks off of the album and it shows their lyrics and instrument style for all its worth. I also like how grand a track it is, to me it is bordering on anthemic which is no bad thing and the chorus is made for sing a longs with your mates. Awesome! (Below is a shortened version of the track but you get the idea)
