Our Take
Our Take
LYDIA LUNCH Marchesa’s latest offering is a delightful cacophony of sound that will make your ears both weep and rejoice. Known for her avant-garde approach to music, Lunch brings her signature brand of dissonance and chaos to this album with aplomb.
From the opening track, "Marchesa," it is clear that Lunch isn't here to play nice. With its discordant melodies and haunting vocals, this song sets the tone for the rest of the album. Lunch's lyrics are as cutting as ever, touching on themes of heartbreak, betrayal, and everything in between.
Tracks like "Black Wedding" and "Dead River" showcase Lunch's unapologetic attitude and brooding intensity. Her unique blend of spoken word poetry and raw emotion create a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that is impossible to ignore.
However, not every song hits the mark. Tracks like "Kaleidoscope" and "Ghost Town" feel a bit derivative and fail to leave a lasting impression. It is in these moments that Lunch's experimental tendencies can feel a bit forced.
Despite its shortcomings, LYDIA LUNCH Marchesa is a bold and daring album that solidifies Lunch's reputation as a true innovator in the music industry. Fans of the unconventional and avant-garde will find plenty to love in this release. Lunch may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those willing to take a chance, this album is a rewarding and unforgettable experience.

About the artist
Lydia Lunch
Lydia Lunch is a force of nature in the world of music. With a career spanning over four decades, this New York avant-garde artist has carved out her own niche in the industry, defying categorisation at every turn. From her early days as a founding member of the No Wave scene in the late 1970s, to her collaborations with artists such as Nick Cave and Sonic Youth, Lunch has always been unapologetically herself. Known for her raw, confrontational lyrics and aggressive vocal delivery, Lunch's music is not for the faint of heart. Her confrontational approach is matched only by her uncompromising attitude towards the music industry, making her a true punk icon in every sense of the word. With a discography that spans a wide range of genres, including punk, spoken word, and experimental noise, Lunch has never been one to stick to one sound. Her live performances are a whirlwind of energy and chaos, leaving audiences simultaneously exhilarated and exhausted. Despite her status as an underground legend, Lunch has never shied away from the mainstream, collaborating with a diverse range of artists and filmmakers. Her influence can be felt in the work of everyone from PJ Harvey to Lana Del Rey, proving that her impact on the music world is as relevant as ever. In a world of manufactured pop stars and cookie-cutter hits, Lydia Lunch stands out as a true original. Her music may not be for everyone, but for those willing to take the plunge into her dark, twisted world, the rewards are endless.
