“In this small snapshot there is a sense that LPthree’s explorations and capabilities have a vast potential. They are developing their own dialect that nods to the great guitar trios but pushes typical conservative boundaries and tropes. The result is expression that extends beyond traditional idiom and reaches for (without straining) a multitude of musical paths, bringing folk, indie, songwriter, rock and more into their melting pot of interpersonal language. This music bristles and bubbles over the edge of the familiar into exciting untread territories.” – Sam Anning
