They Say...
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.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
