Danny Scott Lane's Songs For Sex is the kind of album that doesn't explicitly reveal its promise but conveys it through its atmosphere. " Come to Me Gently" opens with an inviting yet cautious door from the very first second; the music always flows dimly, like a half-finished sentence. Lane's voice is neither too close nor too far—it places a thin mist between, compelling the listener to walk within it.
Throughout the album, titles such as "Naked on Your Lap," "Bedroom Walls," and "Soft Inside" have more of an intimate tone than an erotic one. The songs are concerned not with the body, but with the convolutions of thought. The bass is warm, the guitars soft, the rhythm always in slow motion... As if everything has been deliberately slowed down; it's not desire itself, but the thought of desire that has become music.
Finally, with "I Miss You Like Therapy," the album slightly drops its mask. The song reveals a more fragile vein beneath all that misty atmosphere. Songs For Sex is not actually the shadow of a night, but of an emotion: a short journey revolving around something undefined, close yet unattainable, unspoken:
