side 1: 1) "Grave Concern" - Smart-ass upbeat folk-rock for War Heroes. 2) "Blue Air, Blow" % 3) "Desert Wind" % 4) "Any Bland Game is Lying" % 5) "Your Grace" % 6)" If the Mute Could Be Heard" % % Capsule review for the previous five tracks. due to similarities in form and content. Lo-Fi, Bob Dylan-esque with a hint of Jandek. Droney, sometimes to the point of being whiny! Mostly introspective, with frequently inspired lyrics. Repeated listens did not sway me to a more positive feeling about the music. It's OK, really, just not necessarily my meat. side 2: 1)"The Blind Aren't in Night" - upbeat, jaunty ditty 'bout life's hardships. 2) "Miss Arkenzie" - slow, banjo-filled ode to a Southern belle. HxJx's pick-to-click!! 3) "Gone: The Trees and the Beasts" - Frontier song w/ Richard Farina-ish vocals, gtr, harp. Perfect downer tree-huggin' stuff that makes you think. 4) "Comet of Despair" - banjo, mid-tempo, great lyrics! Is this guy Hoke really that sad, or is it for shtick? Another HxJx pick-to-click! 5) "Cry, Silver Needle" - MORE bummer rock! Junkies, ICU patients, and medical students will dig this one, Dudes & Chicks!! | ||
