Ex-Throwing Muses drummer David Narcizo makes an instrumental album with the help of old band mate Kristin Hersh and some  others. The structure is quite simple: a slow, sampled loop from some antique record is ornamented with live instruments and some quirky keyboard stuff and drones on for a while. Next track comes on, a different sample is used, the same principle is applied.
Possible inspirators might be Tortoise, Salaryman or some other arty but funky American instrumentalists unknown to me. Unfortunately Lakuna aren't all that funky. The album sounds vaguely distanced from it's makers, as if they had been thinking about something else, some more exciting future project, while they were recording it. It's not bad, just... a bit cold.
