Free Music Notes for Haughty MelodicFree Music Review: this makes sense
I was a fan of Soul Coughing, but would have never called them one of my favorites, I guess more than anything I came to find it annoying after a while. I've liked M. Doughty's solo stuff, but this record really has sort of blown me away. It's not Soul Coughing, not at all, and I guess that makes sense. After a few dozen listens I've found this is a record you listen to all the way through, no need to fast forward -(though I could stand it on 'His Truth,' but that's way at the end of the record so no bother) this is simply a pretty great record filled with one excellent song after the other. It's a mature record, a fun record, a sad record, a record that pulses and breathes and reaches out to you and pulls you in. The more uptempo songs like 'Sunken Eyed Girl, Unsingable Name, and Looking at the World,' are a good time and stand repeated heated listenings and sing-alongs, but the record finds it's emotional center in the mid tempo songs like- 'Grey Ghost,' -which I think may be about Jeff Buckley, 'White Lexus,' 'Your Misfortune,' and 'I Hear the Bells,' and 'american car.' There's a sort of desperation and humanity here that driven through Doughty's gravelly vocals works so well. This is a record that sounds great, and I've found if you spend some time with it, it will touch you as well. Not touch like a priest would touch, but the good touch. what else could you ask for? Sort of surprised to find out he's a damn good singer songwriter, and though he might not be so obviously working to turn a clever phrase as often as he did with SC, it turns out he doesn't need to rely on that boho/white Gil Scott- trip thing, that there's a lot more to him besides clever word play. I imagine that if you stream some of the mid-tempo songs above you'll probably fall in love.
