Free Music Notes for This Is Where We Live Album
Free Music Review: A fantastic debut
Hit: 5 Stars
Despite the fact that Paco shares Andy Chase and Dominique Durand with Ivy, Paco is not looking to replicate what Ivy has done. In fact, Paco side-stepped Ivy?s pop elegance and made an album that is much more ethereal and atmospheric. Some of the great pop qualities of Ivy are there (?My Love? has a chorus that just won?t quit,) but Paco focuses more on the mood and tonality of the music.
The album opens with the instrumental ?Satie? which is supposedly named after composer Erik Satie. Whether or not there is a connection to ?Satie? the song and Satie the composer is unknown to me. However, ?Satie? expertly sets the mood for the album that is to come. It is lush, melodic, and builds at a leisurely pace.
The rest of the Paco album shares the lush nature of ?Satie,? and is fantastic throughout. Songs such as ?My Love? and ?Lie? are up-tempo numbers that are a great compliment to a warm summer day. Other songs, such as ?Thin? and ?Never? are more atmospheric, and less lyrically driven. These vocals in these songs are used as another texture for the song. The tonality of the voice and Dominique?s delivery are far more important than what the words actually mean.
The album?s most poignant moment, for me at least, comes during the chorus of ?Let it Go.? While Dominique sings the chorus, Andy joins her by singing a counter melody that dances underneath the lead vocal. It is a moment that hints at their relationship outside the studio. It also shows the full possibility of what this band is capable of.
Overall, ?This is Where We Live? is a strong debut by a band that is sure to only grow better over time. It?s a great album to listen to on a rainy night while you lay in bed with your lover (as long as you don?t pay too much attention to the lyrics about love lost.)
