A better than average album. Most numbers are multi-textured with Arthur often singing several harmony parts. Although the songs are kind of dark and organic in places, it's not just texture and overlay. Unlike many other indie pop artists he knows the value of a good hook. All twelve tracks on this album are either beautiful reflective songs.Arthur has a real gift for infectious choruses and killer hooks. The songs are deceptively simple and catchy but can hold plenty of water. It looks like a genuine talent.A swooping sweep of synth lifts us up and pulls us down. That would be "Leave Us Alone". This is the moment when words cease to give meaning and the vocals are simply grazing the listener's ear for non other reason than to soothe and please as best friends do.
Leave Us Alone
He was cut and then there was no fear
The dogs of hell within unborn
And like a ghost without an atmosphere
His voice sang without a song
Singing to the ships as the foghorns blow
Shipping light where darkness hides
The night was blind but it did see him go
For in this dark his light survives
Go away
Leave us alone
We don't know ya
Who you are
So far
From home
He stands before them as they judge his life
His shadow reaching underneath
He will fight he will reveal his knife
They will question his belief
They will shatter all his teeth
Blood from his mouth in darkness he can see
His suicide his love reborn
And hangin from a noose in secrecy
His mind and spirit will divorce
Go away
Leave us alone
We don't know ya
Who you are
So far
From home
