专辑介绍

by Jason MacNeil

While just a basic trio, Cordelia's Dad compose a far greater and larger sound than imagined, moving from the early alternative rock of the '90s Seattle scene with a tablespoon of jazz and R.E.M. traces on &Upswing,& a moody and winding track. &Inhaler& recalls Canadian cult rockers the Tragically Hip, a mix of jazz ideas on a slow tension-building arrangement. Lead songwriter Tim Eriksen has a downbeat vocal ability, like Dave Matthews and Michael Stipe, particularly on the somber and melancholic &Eyelovemusic.& A number of the jazz touches have a Middle Eastern or Indian element to them, exemplified especially on &Five Way Flashlight.& But the album's greatest asset is its ability to move through different ideas, none more so than the hymnal and gorgeous &Despair,& which resembles mountain music. The highlight track would definitely be the stellar &Rock Me (To Sleep),& characterized by a deliberate hard rock and beefy rhythm like Led Zeppelin or even Creed. The quality of the music, though, can't be defined, and the group displays a Ralph Stanley style on the final &Brethren Sing.& This is a definitive album that is not easy to define.
