LIMITATIONS by Cinéma L'amour
Recorded over the last 2 and a half years, “Limitations” is both tightly executed and occasionally unhinged. Encompassing an incalculable number of styles, influences, and sounds, the massively complex collection of compositions represents a summation of the band's 4-year existence.
The 8 songs have been honed by years of touring, and here they are flushed out with horns, strings, and bells, in addition to layers upon layers of guitars, drums and voices.
Live, the band is less about 2 people than it is about 8 limbs.
Easily inviting the octopus comparison on his own, drummer Chris Kavanagh commands his kit with unyielding ferocity and precision. Meanwhile Dorian Scheidt tap dances across an array of effects and looper pedals, pausing only occasionally to let loose with either his guitar or his lungs.
