Look at the cover of Lucid Dreaming and it pretty much sums up the album. With each song you feel close to the sister duo of Miranda Anna and Elektra June Kilbey-Jansson, it’s intimate, soft but with the right amount of pop to bring you in and lift things up.
‘Everything We Touch’ is a track you would have heard on the radio by now, but it’s the perfect track to open the album and pique your interest. A bit of the old school ‘80s vibe is introduced with ‘Games For Girls’ and it sounds like something French pop singer Yelle would produce if she were asked for a club track.
Though the real impressive tracks are found in the emotive, slow burners like ‘Julian’, where the girls can harmonise and croon along to simple beats. The tracks tell a story, and the way they are delivered allows you to fully take it in. ‘Angels’ brings up sex and love, two things that are covered quite frequently across all genres but the lyrics are actually quite a refreshing take on the topics.
Highlights, and polar opposites, of the album would have to be ‘Peppermint’ and ‘Hard For a Man’, though there are a handful of others that you’ll have to discover and quickly upload to your iPod.
