Radiohead drummer leaves the percussion behind and releases a singer/songwriter album. Lots of cute little composition, and the 32 minutes are enjoyable. A little too mellow on a full listen, though. FCC: None Try: 3, 4, 8 1) Count off. Slow, Mad World-sounding track with glockenspiel in the end. 2) Reversed percussion, falsetto, and humming. Lovely lyrics. 3) * Slow, fragile. Drums at 1:20. “I’m scared, but I’m losing you” Really good when horns come in (2:40) 4) * Sounds like ‘Exit Music’, but less drama. Nice fingerpicked gui-tar. 5) Acoustic bass, strings. Like the soundtrack to a cute teen-age indie flick. 6) Sad, sort of traditional-sounding. Very soft vocals. 7) Deeper vocals, builds up. 8) * Very separate verses, new elements added each time. Peaceful & melodic. 9) Piano, slow strings, added drums. 10) Sounds a lot like something off Thom Yorke's The Eraser albeit less electronic. That or "Nude" with less strings | ||
