Two years after the release of "For Torching," Matthew Curtis (under the alias The Dronings) brings to the table a new collection of songs inspired by and created during his long transition from rural East Texas to the thriving music scene of Austin, TX. While there haven't been any official releases by the psychedelic troubadour until now, he has not been foregoing musical responsibilities but instead took time to travel Texas, sharing music and writing about his experiences, before finally settling in Austin. The songs on "LCD" represent this transition. "For Sam (Who Painted Me A Picture)" is a platonic love song that swims in imaginative naivety about his time spent with a childhood friend while traveling. "Tough" and "Lips Half Parted" (featuring another Austin favorite, Melissa Engleman) represent the hardships of his new found relationships while the title track contains all the playfulness and excitement of developing friendships (and lyrically playing on his often melodramatic tendencies). Never concerned with category, or even consistency for that matter, The Dronings bring fresh instrumentation and experimentation while desperately grasping for and trying to abandon pop sensibilities.
