Album Notes

"Swimming in the Sahara", the new instrumental CD from LoveShack, is the perfect backdrop for that dinner party you've got planned with six of your best friends. Fascinating conversations tend to occur when there's tranquil, musical support. Think of "Swimming in the Sahara" as a state-of-the-art, conversational-flotation-device. It's also just the right compliment for those blissful stolen moments when your body's draped over a white wicker couch on the sun-porch, watching the last vestiges of sun trickle away behind the horizon from beneath half closed eyelids. Unparalleled in a car, on a plane, on a boat, on a train; sitting on a rock gazing out over a wide open ocean or sitting at the edge of a baby pool in the middle of your backyard, you'll wonder how you ever did without this melodious travel guide that seems to gently discard the stresses of the day. "Swimming in the Sahara" does its work delicately but skillfully. The soothing tones of a grand piano and acoustic bass bubble up from beneath airy violins and throaty cellos; the exotic huskiness of pan flute and shaku, flamenco, steel and soft electric guitars, all blending together to serve only the simplicity of each melody. It's a vacation when you need it the most. . .every. . .single. . .day.
