Auburn’s ‘Indian Summer’ consists of ten atmospheric tracks; with Lenten’s compelling vocal leading the listener through a myriad of heartfelt experiences. Lyrics, although tinged with melancholy, are peppered with the seeds of optimism, unashamedly inviting you into the mind and soul of the writer….Marvellous stuff.
Interestingly, each individual track has a dedication contained within the sleeve notes, and also this very interesting quotation:
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”
Liz Lenten didn’t write that, but one does get the impression that she sure as hell believes in it!

Max Gilkes – Guitars & piano

Pat Garvey – Percussion
Rob Lewis – Cello
