Just starting to get to grips with it now
I know what you mean, each song is so rich, plus many have such a strong narrative to them, it feels almost impossible to absorb all of the stories on the album at once.
In answer to your question about the other albums GL, I've got A Sun Came! which is his earliest album, and whilst it is still really good it has yet to shine quite as much as the later ones, there's a sense of him trying to work out his sound on it...and is therefore more of a mixed bag. I think he has a more clearly defined sound on the later albums, but this one is quite playful, with little bits of kid's conversations interspersed between the songs and is worth it alone for a few of the standout tracks, one of which, for me, is Super Sexy Woman which has a distinctly comic book superheroine flavour, and a few others which blend a very medieval sound with a more eastern, sitar laden sound.
I don't have his other album which apparently is a 'folktronia' record with a track for each house in the Chinese Zodiac, I get the feeling its very different to all the others. |
