CALVIN LECOMPTE’S PERFUME NINETEEN IS A HYPNAGOGIC LULL THAT RECALLS THE ELECTRIFYING SWEETNESS OF PSYCHOTROPICS BACK WHEN THE VOICES OF EXPERTS MATTERED, WHEN AUTHORITIES COULD ASSURE YOU THAT CHEMICALS ALONE MIGHT ROCKET YOU INTO A PRIVILEGED REALM OF LOVING CONSCIOUSNESS. WHEN POISONOUS FLOWERS COULD REACH OUT FROM BEHIND EACH ROMANTIC GESTURE.
“SWEETER THAN A ROSE
KNOCKS YOU DOWN LIKE DOMINOS”
THE LYRICS LEND AN AIR OF FATALITY TO THE DRIFTING NONCHALANCE OF THE TRACK. THE NARCOTIC ATMOSPHERE OF PETAL-SOFT MELODIES FILL THE AIR LIKE AN AMBIEN HAZE, DEEPENING THE MAJESTY SPELLED OUT BY THE WORDS. LECOMPTE’S STAR-GAZING STRATOCASTER DRIVES YOU TO LOVERS LANE ONLY TO LOOK DOWN TO FIND YOURSELF ALONE.
“KEEP LOSING PAIRS TO HER STRAIGHTS SHE'S A FLEETING AFFAIR
YOU TURN AROUND AND
THAT GIRLS GONE SOMEWHERE”
THE CONTEMPLATION OF LECOMPTE’S MOTEL-HOPPING NARRATOR LAPS AROUND THE LISTENER LIKE AN ETHEREAL WASH. A JINGLE-JANGLE TAPESTRY DISSOLVED IN A CRYSTALLINE CAULDRON OF REDOLENT POPPIES. WHEN THE ROSE OVERSTEPS ITSELF, WHEN ITS SWEETNESS CAN NO LONGER BE NAMED, THE SENSATION OF ECSTASY EVAPORATES IN A CLOUD-KISSED MIRAGE.
