Free Music Review: The Spell #5
Hit: 4 Stars
"The Spell (#5)" comes pretty close to "#2" CD, which I think is their best CD. As the title this CD puts you under a "Spell" as the haunting sounds of instruments and vocals do not out do the other. As they continue w/ The Waiter series this one is "The Waiter #5" brings their Edgar Allan Poe lyrics "...you won't be coming back and this is my home. This is my grave"
The Spell Poster
"The Spell" is the most fitting name yet for a Black Heart Procession record. Spells are cast over a person, a love affair, a nation, a world; they enchant and entrap, disorient and delude. They're the heart of this release, and there's no better word to describe the spooky intoxication of the band's sound. Theirs is the sound of driving at night across the West. Like the wide-open landscape, this is music that knows how to be both desolate and lush. Here, a song's 6/8 beat will pull you into a moody seductive waltz and next, the violin and piano evoke the house band of a lonesome cabaret with the lights turned low. Then the strings stop their mournful crying and shift into a propulsive thrum, and now we've got the pedal to the metal and we're heading straight down the open road into a cinematic twilight.Too much "atmospheric" rock music fills empty ideas and a lack of actual songs with an overuse of the loud-soft dynamic and lots of weird instruments. But Black Heart Procession have always had compelling, forceful tunes, and they've only recently started to fill their echoing, haunted sound with the sounds of slide guitar, organ, and strings (and of course, much more on 2002's nearly brilliant murder mystery/rock opera Amore del Tropico). The Spell, the closest the band's come to flat-out, riff-driven "rock," just might be their finest album to date, a manifesto of melancholic bravado. Pall Jenkins's voice has never sounded so strong. He may sing "We come crashing through the dark/We don't know where we are/And something is just not the same," but somehow, there's hope underneath. Huzzah. --Mike McGonigal
