Free Music Review: At its core a strong album, surrounded by duller songs
Hit: 3 Stars
Terry Vickers left The House of Love after its earliest and best albums, taking his chiming guitar sound and evidently his ability to create textured depth on record with him into Levitation, which issued this album and an e.p., Coterie, whose title track ends the US version of this l.p. from 1992. Certainly fans of HoL will want this spin-off album, and others who favor more introspective, slightly psychedelic influences mixed into guitar-based "indie" rock would like this. It does not leap out at you; a more meditative, if insistent, aura permeates these tracks.
It holds up respectably for most of the tracks, although his voice lacks any resonance, merely filling in space behind music that does not differ much from his previous band. What works best are tracks 5-6-7. Here, the sound thickens as Vickers explores hints of Middle Eastern modalities that enrich these meandering, jangling songs greatly. While the album itself is uneven--too many songs sound too similar--these three songs at its core make this a record that fans of Britpop's gloomier early 90s/late 80s post-Smiths atmospheric, drifting melodies will enjoy.
