Former no wave pioneer turned spoken word artist Lydia Lunch returns with an astonishing set of funereal ballads, backed by new group Family In Mourning. On Eulogy Lunch reflects on the thin line that separates life from death. The music accompanying these meditations ranges from moodily piped jazz to simply strummed acoustic guitars, but the most harrowing example here is “Dust And Shadow”, which acts as the album’s moving finale. In essence it is Lunch at the bedside of her dying lover, beseeching him to go towards the light that is beckoning him to the other side, where he will be set free from the pain of existence. Despite the anguished subject matter it is a beautifully performed piece, one that ranks alongside Patti Smith’s “Birdland” as a piece of pure vocal art.
