European Lovers by Steven Jones & Logan Sky
Inspired by fracture, separation and existential doubt, European Lovers is an album of dark journeys, sleek cynicism, threadbare hopes and the whispered promise of redemption.
"It’s a curious mix that is ultimately satisfying for the headphones of any passing New Europeans. And when the soprano sax comes in, it all becomes reminiscent of BLACK if Colin Verncombe had been in VISAGE.. and the exquisite synth tones of ‘The Girl On The 8.45’ captures an inevitably doomed romance in a tale of unrequited love for a beautiful stranger on the daily commute." - Electricity Club, Mar '21
