Mr. Bones Reviewed 2018-12-05 | ||
Evening Machines – Gregory Alan Isakov (2018) In his 4th release, Colorado based farmer & musician Gregory Isakov has produced an etherial masterpiece reminiscent of the vast expanse and beauty of his home state. The arrangements vary from hauntingly quiet in San Luis, to multi-layered full band sound of Caves, which in my mind is the Indie equivalent of the Beach Boy's classic Good Vibrations. Lyrics are clever if somewhat inscrutable. FCC: None RIYL: Bon Iver, Barr Brothers, Skin & Bones *1) Berth - Emigrating to the USA from South Africa as a child (4:54) *2) San Luis - Slow, spare & beautiful (4:33) *3) Southern Start - Slowish with great instrumental break (2:20) 4) Powder - Mid-tempo with interesting orchestration (3:13) *5) Bullet Holes - Features his amazing vocal range with fantastic instrumentation (3:31) 6) Was I Just Another One - pretty song about longing & fulfillment (2:58) *7) Caves - uptempo, rocks out a bit (4:58) *8) Chemicals - sublime mid-tempo, love? Song (3:21) *9) Dark, Dark, Dark - mid-tempo, powerful & surreal with great banjo & fiddle (2:58) 10) Too Far Away - Reminiscence about on old friend done as a slow, waltz (3:25) 11) Where You Gonna Go - slow & eerily beautiful (4:02) *12) Wings in All Black - slowish with great interplay between voice, guitar & synth (3:44) |
