Rainbow
People Places, 2025
8/10
A collective spearheaded by the multi-instrumentalist Jerry Pergolesi, this reworking of the classic tune, “Over The Rainbow”, sung by Judy Garland, welcomes Louise Campbell to this highly ambient debut from LMNL.
The lone track, which is an hour long, opens with strong attention to ambience, where sparing vocals align with the mysterious electronics that drone with intrigue.
The strategic use of percussion and trumpet from Pergolesi blends into the atmospheric haze, and Campbell’s clarinet is barely detectable amid the waves of electronics and sampled vocals.
LMNL put an inimitable spin on this timeless track that has represented defiance, vulnerability and longing in the queer community, and it unfolds with an innovative and artistic quality that comes with a universal appeal to create, connect, and celebrate.
Travels well with: David Zucchi- Mandi; Kamra- Shift Circuit
