Lucidvox's new album is vast-sounding. A collection of swirling ritual missives offered up in the hope of better times. Formerly based in Russia, for their new album That's What Remained, the all-female quartet has added additional sonic thrust (horns, keyboards, strings, atmospheric textures) to their already acclaimed and impassioned psych-rock. Here, style reveals the soul. That's What Remained cannot be anything other than a Lucidvox record -- that firebird quality they always had, the busy rhythms and spitting guitar runs, are still there. But it's a work with a considerable presence; much more so than their debut, We Are. When formulating this record they turned outwards, and asked trumpeter Timur Mizinov from Wooden Whales, violinist Dasha Avramova, guitarist Dmitry Chesnov and multi-instrumentalist Ella Bayisbaeva as a back vocalist to contribute; alongside a children's choir. Artfully and collectively constructed to convey their message, nothing here is wasted or done for the hell of it; but the band clearly hope that their new style can change their own narrative. Each track's DNA tries to persuade the listener that Lucidvox see this record as a launchpad for other iterations of themselves. Plotted and rehearsed a handful of times before the band left Moscow, and built online over a year, the swapped files and code of this album became the smaller particles of the (human) whole. The pathways these files negotiated also ran parallel to those trodden by the band members.
