This is a gentle and peaceful record. There’s a real poetic sensibility all the way through, and he sings in a full dark voice, like Scott Walker and Jim Morrison, but without the angst of the one, or the violence of the other – and that’s dark as in chocolate on a still night, not dark as in scary and dangerous. Calm, meditative, eqanimous.
The shimmering musicianship, arrangements and production are just glorious. Melodies are all strong, lyrics are allusive, evocative, not necessarily grasped at once. It’s good, it’s very good…. it’s music that requires you to quieten down first, in order to absorb it properly. You are going to like this a lot.
