The Last Chance Lottery

Music, more than ever, is a commodity; you’ve got to churn out hits and content to keep the algorithm happy, unless, you’re like Dennis Callaci and L. Eugene Methe. These two songwriters approach songwriting in a different fashion, pushing aside trends and genre studies to push for a purity. The two have collaborated on a joint venture titled The Last Chance Lottery, where Methe handles the music and Callaci handles the vocals and wordsmithing. L. Eugene Methe’s craft can immediately set you on edge, beckoning from shadowy corners of harrowing atmospherics; this is furthered by Dennis’ performance, almost scratching at the speakers with the way his voice haunts the listener from the confines of what feels like a very cramped little space. It’s a captivating introduction to the LP, which arrives via Gertrude/Shrimper Records.
