It's odd, but I only just noticed that I'm listening to Supper right now. It's become one of those 'go to' albums - the ones that you tend to reach for automatically when you're after something familiar to wrap yourself up in.
It's just a gorgeous, enveloping wedge of music, for the most part. Again, Red Apple Falls is probably the closest comparison - it manages to mix the slow, brittle and wonderfully tuneful stuff with the more forceful, driven songs far more effectively than Knock Knock, where there was a similar range, but the two different styles stood out from each other noticably. As a result, it's a more satisfying album. It's also partly down to the use of female backing vocals running through all the songs, which gives the album consistency.
Driving's a bit shit, though. It'd be close to the perfect Smog album for me, if it weren't for that one track.
I see a new one - A River Ain't Too Much to Love - slipped out earlier this year without me noticing. Anybody get it? Some pretty negatitve reviews floating around. |
