专辑介绍
by Bruce Eder
The Free Design's second album offers fewer original songs than its predecessor, but a sound every bit as fresh and original as that earlier album. Chris Dedrick provides the title track, an upbeat, uplifting piece, not as hauntingly beautiful as &Kites Are Fun,& but pretty in its own right, and followed by the ethereal &A Leaf Has Veins.& The quartet also takes the risk of inviting comparisons with their West Coast rivals, the Mamas & the Papas, turning in a swinging rendition of &California Dreamin',& as well as gorgeous, ornate covers of the Beatles' &Eleanor Rigby& and Bonner & Gordon's &Happy Together,& though perhaps the best moment here is their harmonized cover of Duke Ellington's &I Like the Sunrise& from &The Iberian Suite.& The overall tone of You Could Be Born Again is more subdued and sophisticated than the group's debut, but it is also a more elaborate album musically, with a larger array of support musicians. The originals -- of which the prettiest examples are &I Found Love,& &Daniel Dolphin,& and &Ivy on a Windy Day& -- mesh nicely with the covers into a beguiling whole with a slightly spacy, psychedelic tone beneath its quiet elegance. Worth tracking down on vinyl for its classic gatefold design or buying on CD as a Japanese import.
