Lovelite - In Three Persons

Lovelite is a band I want to like more. The band has written some killer and catchy tunes. But their albums always fall a little short for me. The band's pre-release sampler for their latest, In Three Persons, had me intrigued.

In Three Persons is actually a series of eps... Which makes the album a little confusing to listen to. Does one listen to the record as eps? Or do you go by the track listing given on the band's site as a full-legnth?

Honestly, I don't think it matters.

In Three Persons is my favorite Lovelite release so far. It's full of hipster, indie worship goodness. Imagine M83 having recorded a worship record.

Heart Starts Beating, the opening track on the His Beloved Son ep is the highlight of the record. A great guitar riff, dancey groove, and a super catchy hook, make it an instant hit in my book. Overcome, off the same ep, is another killer track. A little more prodding and slow moving but a solid hook.

Each ep tends to move in a similar direction. Upbeat, solid hook to start the ep off and then a slow decline is pace and tempo. There are a ton of solid songs, great electronics, and strong hooks that make for a solid listen from start to finish. But there's just something missing.... There are some great songs but as a whole... Lovelite is still lacking a little.
