If you like the wistful and jittery tones of Moody Blues, while polishing it with modern production and influences or are familiar with Boards of Canada, Lovecraft can be appreciated.
Michael Soiseth's [the "band" is a one-man experience] sound is consistent. Outside of the Pearl Jam[-ish] riffage on "Only a Dream", the musical template is rarely lingers off its sonic mecca. The result is often beautiful and textured, except it exposes predictable and clichéd filler songs like "The Last Song".
Lauridsen's 12 tracks are, on balance, mind-absorbing tapestries. "Bad Thing" is notably kitsch and mildly disturbing, but penetrates any will to remove it from memory with its knapsack of earworm viruses.
Lovecraft flirts with possibility. Additional experimentation and more consistent songwriting, stronger albums are foreseen.
