Free and legal MP3 from Haley Bonar (insistent, bittersweet, textured singer/songwriter pop)

2008-07-15 14:52:00 by Jeremy in Fingertips
 
...insistent sense of yearning, thanks to the major-minor chord shifts, the terrific and evocative instrumentation, and something achy and knowing in Bonar's clear, sad-eyed voice Pay attention to what's going on in the background throughout the song. Electric and acoustic guitars, backing vocals, and Bonar's mellotron are woven together with a...

...insistent and bluesy and charming in a ram-shackle kind of way. Bring A Little Water Sylvie is insistent and energetic and steamrollers its way into your consciousness Cumberland Gap is breathtaking And yeah so its Britain and its the 1950s and so there is a bit of (coughs) music hall. Putting On The Style is of its time but not without its...

...insistent vocals), his voice still makes it forgivable (although, to those who don't like his voice this album may not sound to pleasing An original album in ever sense of the word, this is a style that really mixes the poppy Yes music from albums like Talk with more progressive music like what they'd done on an album like Keystudio. What...

...insistent bass figure builds the spine of the piece before the ensemble comes in. Trumpet solo Blue Mitchell. Some high stepping and brassy preaching. Clifford Scott, I think, solos next. Juggles some soul blues fragments effectively enough. Then Brother Ray, who could play a mean blues. Spare and funky, just a couple of choruses, slightly...

...insistent bass line over which Porcupine Tree sprinkle some vaguely Crimsonish 'Projeckts' style atmospheres and reminds me a bit in parts of the Rain Tree Crow' album (which of course featured a certain Mr Barbieri) This is possibly more in keeping with the largely abandoned ambient style of earlier work realized solely by Wilson without the...

...insistent sitar and guitar driven drone riff. Chris Karrer from Amon Duul II drops in to contribute some delicious eastern inflected glissando violin to wonderful effect. Most rock bands can carry off the weight of 'drone' based riffery quite easily but it takes a lot of experience and 'nous' to lend this compositional device the playful...

...insistent effect While the crowd in the tent was modest, Floods appearance drew an enthusiastic group of core fans, who crowded the stage just as densely as they would at a show at the Ogden or the Hi-Dive Im sitting here pouring out, Rateliff screamed to the teenagers lolling on the grass and concentrated packs of loyal fans singing along in...

...insistent lap of waves upon the beach, the track orchestrates a great deal of smoldering, noir-ish drama from relatively simple components. The addition of Sylvian is a particular coup, as the singers flair for smooth understatement meshes well with Wassers bluesy delivery. Would you love me and not my need to be loved? she cries. Would you...
