Performer Notes

Always pining for a rustic American past, Langhorne Slim ups the ante with his old-timey obsessions on Lost at Last, Vol. 1. Often sounding as if it's designed as a respite from the digital clamor of modern living, Lost at Last, Vol. 1 is filled with loose ends and mess. The rhythms rollick; the harmonies sometimes don't quite mesh; and there are hopping squeezeboxes, the occasional saloon piano, and a bunch of front-porch strumming -- all signifiers of a different time and place. As a vibe, it's appealing, enough so that it still sounds good when the songs don't catch hold, which is a little too often for a singer/songwriter deep into his career. Even if Langhorne Slim can't come up with the tunes to suit his sound, that sound is bewitching enough to make Lost at Last, Vol. 1 worth a listen. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Professional Reviews

Magnet - "Langhorne Slim has a striking tenor that imbues his songs with an aching sense of melancholy and uncertainty."

Paste (magazine) - "It's all supported by a through-line of warm, cozy production that imbues the album with a pleasant nostalgia, he kind we've come to expect from Slim and his reworking of dug-in American genres like folk, country, and blues."
