Arthur Autumn - Styrofoam-Pills-Heartbreak-Shaker |
Fans of "Heartbreaker"-era Ryan Adams, Cat Stevens, The General Store, Sam
Roberts and Rufus Wainwright listen up. Well, listen below and dig it!
Arthur Autumn is Brent Nuffer the singer for Studiotone, a fave band here at
Not Lame. " created music that has a stark aural splendor that is
scaffolded by elusive if not elegant lyrics. The use of dialectics i.e., the
holding of opposites, such as love versus sex or truth versus
self-deception, creates an extraordinarily powerful tension in the music
that sets this disc apart from the ordinary singer/songwriter schmaltz that
floods today`s scene. It`s as if Autumn`s existential anguish contradicts
his quest for order and reason. But in the end his spiritual longing
transcends those limitations and he learns that the art of happiness doesn`t
involve being happy at all, at least not in the
merry-christmas-partridge-family-let`s-go-shopping kinda happy. The
resolution of the dilemma is carved out in a form of self-awareness, of
being who you are. And therein lay his triumph."White`s Bar.
