I realize it sounds strange to put it this way, but the special pleasures to be found in Lyrical Nitrate are closely related to the voyeuristic appeal of pornography, specifically old-fashioned stag reels. The experience of watching these fragments is, like the fragments themselves, fleeting and therefore tantalizing, suggestive and therefore provocative -– and far off the beaten track of what's supposed to be viewer friendly in our culture.
