We Say...
On his first solo outing, the Slip's Brad Barr delivers an album of delicate, gorgeous acoustic guitar songs, the perfect soundtrack to an oncoming fall. Barr is a light, graceful player, and the songs don't hurtle so much as pirouette, turning angelic circles over and over, drifting down like orange autumn leaves. "Gin Gin" is all '30s waltz, lilting cadence and big, sweeping melody lines. "Maria La O" is as soothing as a lazy cruise down a long river.
But the album's big surprise is Barr's aching cover of Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box." Over a field recording of bird songs, Barr roughly peels off one lick after another, his brutish playing a perfect mirror of the song's wounded core. It is The Fall Apartment's darkest moment, and by far its most arresting. -
