“Michigan/Missing Him” Is A Nod To The Great Lakes State

Lew Loh’s latest album “Michigan/missing him” is a nod to the Great Lakes State and one of the most primal emotions love.

To switch up a quote from “The Book of Love” by The Magnetic Fields, some love songs are “just transcendental” and some are “just really dumb”. However, Loh’s latest album titled “michigan/missinghim” is neither insipid (here is to you, Dave Matthews Band) nor overtly dramatic (sorry, Celine). If we could speak on behalf of Loh, we would say that it is factual in its depiction of love, a collection of tunes that gets what is right about the emotion — cannot live without it, kind of scared of it but is a great shot of dopamine regardless.

“I’ve gone through my fair share of honeymoons and heartbreaks, but what I believe I have to look forward to, is a love that is less impulsive and dramatic — and more stable. This is mostly my fault, [laughs] because I fall in love too quickly and tend to love too deeply too soon. What would happen if I didn’t say ‘I love you’ only after two weeks?”
