The debut album from Addy Weitzman, 'Light Months Will Fly Over Us' explores new-wave, romantic pop and art rock with elegance and ambition, drawing from Weitzman's scattered network of collaborators, as well as a 'frighteningly vast' personal archive of compositions. Sequenced by Seth Troxler and released on his Slacker 85 label, it represents a pivot in musical direction for the imprint, and a showcase for the songwriting craft Weitzman honed as a member of cult electro duo Footprintz, and Montreal synth-pop projects The Beat Escape and Dawn to Dawn.The title 'Light Months Will Fly Over Us' is derived from a line in a poem by the Russian writer Anna Ahkmatova. Weitzman was immediately struck by it's 'hopefulness, it's mystery... it gives the feeling of being suspended, hanging in a dream-like state'. This interpretation has been translated to the album, rich in memorable songwriting that nonetheless invites the listener to lean in further. Delicately mixed by engineer Pierre Guerineau, known for his work alongside Marie Davidson, each of the eight tracks gently interrogates life's greater mysteries; fear, love and salvation, each defining and revealing the human soul.Opener 'End of The Line' invites us into an immediately lush space of lounge lizard existentialism, soft brass and piano helping Weitzman introduce 'where the journey begins and the fantasy dies'. Across orchestral arrangements arranged by Adam Wilcox, whose sensitive, ambitious compositions are weaved throughout the album, 'Beyond The Speed of Life' brings to mind the laments of Scott Walker. Navigating vulnerability via grandeur, Weitzman's earnest vocals flourish in wide-eyed call-and-response with the object of a transcendent love affair.Alongside collaborator, Richard Lamb, the next chapter of the LP plunges into contrasting machine-driven moods; the wry, bubbling 'Entertainment Is All I Wanted (And I Found It)' is imbued with the playfulness and experimentation of 80s electronic pioneers such as Fad Gadget, while the tougher, icier 'Stranger To Your Kind' shifts in a more instrumental direction, recalling Weitzman's dancefloor experience, as well as contemporaries such as Matthew Dear.Album centerpiece and striking first single 'Running & Returning' is the first of a suite of three tracks in collaboration with Weitzman's The Beat Escape and Dawn to Dawn bandmate Patrick Boivin. Blending lush saxophones and angular guitars with a wistful melodic touch and lyrics, it's irresistible art-rock rhythm provides the foundation for one of Weitzman's most involving vocal performances. It's followed by an anthem for existential absurdity: 'Ice Cream Candle' provides a driving acceptance that 'the more and more you learn, the less you understand'; Weitzman submits to this uncertainty with equal grace on 'No Man's Land', as baroque invocations of 'words swept through the fields' and meeting 'where the water lilies grow' give way to a blistering guitar solo, humbly riding hypnotic percussion. For the compassionate finale of 'Light Months Will Fly Over Us', Weitzman narrates the experience of 'Gabrielle', a woman slipping between rooms between shuttered blinds in the towering city, 'where cigarettes and roses fill the air.' As lyrically delicate as it is musically ambitious, 'Light Months Will Fly Over Us' is a sublime debut album, enriched with care, love and much-needed enchantment.Tracklisting:A1. End Of The Line A2.
