Lucid Fire Volition - 'First Three Years' retrospective out now! Lucid Fire Volition's BLOG with comments on songs, albums, etc...

Lucid Fire Volition was CCMD's first full immersion in songwriting outside the strict confines of hardcore/punk. LFV's "guitar-based post-pop" draws on many influences ranging from hardcore punk attitude/approach to new wave artistic freedom, from folk to techno. The "First Three Years" album includes the 21 best songs released in the years 2001 to 2004. As a project in minimalism, LFV set out first to play songs with the most basic tools: acoustic guitar and voice. The 7-song 'Tolerance for Integrity EP' documented this era, marked by the reasoning that a good song should be able to translate to a basic guitar & voice format. From This point, Lucid Fire Volition set out to reveal the extra tones and timbres that were shunned on the first record while simultaneously embracing and defying its genres of influence. Released FALL 2003 on PhoenixHeart Records, 'Until One Thorough Rain, For You' was a very dark full-length - the darkest hour of music Lucid Fire Volition ever hopes to have to write. LFV's third release, 'Not Another Lie' contained 5 album tracks, but 5 additional B-sides were also recorded during those sessions. While this album was very different, it still maintained the qualities that have always characterized Lucid Fire Volition. Those songs simply brought LFV into a new light, where it still stands as strong as ever. No matter the sound, Lucid Fire Volition songs will always fuel good karma.
