  • Bio

    .. Lovers In Arms began in 2006 as a trip-hop experiment between singer-songwriters Caroline Yohanan and Armando Perez. Their first independent LP, “Belmont Electric” debuted to positive local reviews, and ranges in influence from hip-hop to rock. The album was brought to life onstage with a band that includes Ryan Schoen on bass, Dan Lieber on drums and vocals, and Juan Lugo on percussion and guitar. .. .. L.I.A.’s 2008 album, “Strength For The Weary,” features both live instrumentation and electronics, exploratory writing, and multi-layered vocal harmonies. By experimenting and improvising on stage, the group creates a sort of acoustic trip-hop rock that moves you. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......CMPtv On Stage: Lovers In Arms "Oh My Brother".. from ..CMPtv.. on ..Vimeo..... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......CMP OnStage: Shades of Green.. from ..Chicago Music Project.. on ..Vimeo..... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......CMP OnStage: Lovers in Arms "The Alchemist".. from ..Chicago Music Project.. on ..Vimeo..... .. .. ..

Review by Jim DeRogatis of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"With a gritty, timeless vibe that conjures a spaceage bachelor pad chanteuse singing over gentle, seductive soul/worldbeat/trip-hop grooves late at night on a lonely "el" platform, Lovers in Arms began 2006 as a fruitful collaboration between singers and sonwriters Caroline Yohanan and Armando Perez. The group made its recorded debut with a disc called "Belmont Electric," expanded to a quintet for live performance (with bassist Ryan Schoen, drummer Dan Lieber and Juan Lugo joining Perez on guitar) and returned to the studio last year to craft the new D.I.Y. album "Strength for the Weary," as impressive a disc from a Chicago combo as this column has ever covered.

"I'm addicted/Like a junkie," Yohanan coos in "Shades of Green." "Wrap your arms around me/Let me feel you/Layers of green." That's an invitation that's hard to resist, as evidenced by the sample tracks posted on the band's Web page (http://www.myspace.com/loversinarms), or the considerable charm it exudes in concert."
