Editorial Reviews After spending 2003 in the studio creating most of their debut full-length CD, Lismore decided to take their sound into the live realm, acquiring Peter Kaufmann to play drums and Claude Coleman (of Ween) to play bass. Lismore morphed even further into a block-rocking glitched-out shoegaze festival catching the ear of smart New Yorkers across the river, hooked by Lismore's odd strain of pop mechanics. Exciting and ambient at the same time, Lismore sets the record straight on 'We Could Connect Or We Could Not.' Blending melancholy melodies with lo-fi electronics and acoustic guitars.

About the Artist
Lismore is a curious combination of glitch-pop, dirty guitars, lo-fi synthetics, fuzzy pianos, and ethereal vocals... And beats...Can't forget the beats! In late 2002, Lismore began as two Jersey City neighbors built upon a call and answer showdown across 5th street between Penelope's voice and Stephen's electronic experiments. Stephen previously was known in the music world as 'DJ Kingsize', one of the most respected producing pioneers within American drum and bass, but wanted to veer in a completely different aural direction. Penelope, a poisonous vocalist originally from Australia, previously fronted a New York City jazz group before deciding to take on a new, more creative trajectory.
Album Description
"We Could Connect Or We Could Not" is a moody glitch-pop CD that blends acoustic elements, analog electronics, and poisonous female vocals. A Brilliant debut by Lismore.
