Comments: Other Lives’ self-titled record is full of deep instrumentation and longing vocals, creating a low-key vibe similar to recent playlist addition Oren Lavie. Thoughtfully orchestrated, Other Lives’ uses piano and violin to great effect—never overdone, always complementing the vocals. Solid album, start with tracks 1, 6, and particularly 7 (“Matador”), which has a style reminiscent of DeVotchKa.
