"HOLY SMOKE, IT’S LILITH LANE! Lilith Lane made her self-titled debut album in just three days. She recorded live with the band after just one rehearsal. And the result is world class. We are blessed with wonderful rootsy women – Lisa Miller, Abbie Cardwell and Sal Kimber, to name just three – and Lilith sits comfortably alongside them. Bluesy, soulful and seductive, Lilith Lane (out through Fuse Music Group) is extraordinarily good. We love Angie Hart’s description of the album: “Such a self-possessed sensuality, I imagine this is how lullabies for wild women of the west would sound.” Stephen Cummings is another fan. “Of late, several female singer-songwriters have risen to prominence,” Stephen says, “but few are as distinctive and have as much potential as Lilith Lane … she can be bruising and powerful, yet simultaneously possesses a smooth and soft velvet sensuality.”

“Melbourne-based singer/songwriter Lilith Lane’s debut album has the determined, gritty introspection of an artist playing to herself in a pub while the rowdy punters won’t listen. My Cowboy (Man’s Man) puts Lane’s longing for a man ‘boots and all’ over spaghetti western strings, ghostly ooohs and rattlesnake percussion. Think The Kill Devil Hills fronted by a less angry Abbe May. Fishing has a PJ Harvey vibe with it’s wailing, candid pillow talk and spacious production. Lane’s writing eschews hooky pop choruses or predictable song structure for a more atmospheric, balladeer sound. Winter is a particularly good example of this with it’s eerie choir backing and sparse piano accompaniment. The intimacy, honesty and rasp of Lane’s delivery prevents this album from becoming just another blushing homage to Nick Cave. It’s refreshingly genuine.”

"Lilith Lane is a diamond in Melbourne's rough; a sumptous folk sound you can't help but adore"

"The term ‘folk artist’ meant something different five to ten years ago, when there didn’t seem to be countless hordes of them emerging from every place imaginable. Thankfully, Lilith Lane lends a special kind of depth and uniqueness to her take on the genre and the result is a brooding self-titled debut that blankets the listener in dark reflection. Rotating between acoustic/electric guitar and keys, Lane’s rich and slightly raspy vocals are backed by some wonderfully cloying bass throbs and resonant percussion. Lead track Til My Dying Day (Johnny and June) gives a moment of false indication that this could be a predominately acoustic record, but the disc alternates between this and amplification in an almost perfect balance. Bullfight sits as the album highlight- a richly opulent piano ballad that crawls along morosely and sinks into a gorgeous chorus line, yet is over with too soon. Likewise, mid-album cut Keep It (Dirty Secret) is a faintly sordid little number with a strong chorus that’d probably do well if it were to be pushed as a radio single. These are just the immediate standout tracks upon first listen; the others take a few hearings to be fully appreciated. Lane, known also for her role in Melbourne group Black Pony Express, recorded the takes live to tape in only three days with the help of backing members Peter Luscombe (Paul Kelly) and Bill McDonald (Stardust 5). Thankfully, the short amount of time doesn’t appear to affect the quality of the songs in the slightest; it sits as a precise and still passionate collection of personal songs that are, as depicted on the cover art, as morosely natural as the darkening of a coastline."

"Lane and her colleagues have created a seamless collection of intimate and powerful originals which indicate an artist very much in control and undoubtedly on the ascent."
