Free Music Notes for Cast of Thousands (Reis)Free Music Review: Divine Mesmerization By Subtle Details
Elbow's experimental sophomore effort is a diverse mixture of understated, melodic, melancholy, mood rock with relentless intensity. The subtle intricacies culminate to a much greater whole than they initially sound. Several astute listens to this incredible work are essential to feel the album's beauty. The stellar epic track "Fugitive Motel" is reminescent of the mysterious, lingering mood of classic tracks like Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and Eagles' "Hotel California." It yearns with desperation, layered with dramatic piano,echoing choir-like voices, and swooning dreamy sound scapes. Vocals might be compared to Peter Gabriel and Sting with a twist of Curt Kobain. The track "Snooks" sounds like a campfire tune if Lou Reed were to host a Boy Scout troop with sudden bursts of noise as wolves sporadically attack. It's simplistic, quirky, and catchy. My favorite track is "Not a Job" which the British tone of his voice is more pronounced over metallic echoing guitar and light touches of high notes on the ivory scale. The track "Buttons and Zips" reminds me of a more refined Pavement track if the indie classic album "Slanted and Enchanted" had been more polished. The tracks "Grace Under Pressure" and "Ribcage" feature the London Community Gospel Choir on back-up vocals. With all this spiritual persuasion, I'm sure there will be many more converted Elbow fans, as I am now a devoted follower.
