Waterloo - Out Of The Woods

We listed this a little while back, but just re-listened to it again and it`s one of those `why didn`t this blow me away the first time around!?` listens. This new collection of melodic, passionate songs makes it clear that Waterloo is after something big, chasing down whatever it is that threads together Badfinger, ELO, Radiohead, and REM, and whatever it is that makes the American Midwest such a beautiful but ultimately melancholy place." Out of the Woods, the third release from Waterloo, often replicates the feeling of having sunshine beat down on one`s face, with its lush layers of warm guitar, melodic piano and Ray`s dusky vocals. The honeyed jangle of highlight "Light in the Doorway" conjures Robyn Hitchcock, although there`s a distinctive psychedelic bent to the snaky electric riffs of "Chain of Lakes." But as with the best R.E.M. albums, the disc`s light is often tempered by a darker undercurrent of loss and longing ? intangible wistfulness and introspection that gives Woods resonant emotional depth.`-Riverfront Times. Very Highly Recommended!
