Kirk Lake With Roy Montgomery - Read Less Books

Review by Scott Doughty

Kirk Lake and Roy Montgomery have come together to create an album that is a must-listen for fans of experimental rock. "Read Less Books" is a unique blend of spoken word, ambient soundscapes, and guitar-driven melodies that transport the listener into a world of introspection and reflection.

The album opens with "The Story of the Eye," which features Lake's spoken word over Montgomery's haunting guitar riffs. This sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is a journey through the human psyche.

"Read Less Books" is a departure from Kirk Lake's previous work as a novelist and music journalist. However, his writing skills are on full display in this album. His words are thought-provoking and often dark, but they are delivered with a sense of vulnerability and honesty that is both refreshing and captivating.

Roy Montgomery's guitar work is the perfect complement to Lake's words. His playing is both intricate and atmospheric, creating a sonic landscape that is both beautiful and haunting. The combination of Lake's words and Montgomery's guitar work is truly something special.
