While The Well Wishers have no intention to subtitle
their latest release the "Difficult 3rd Album"
as Billy Bragg did with Talking With The Taxman About
Poetry, How I Won The War... is somewhat
of a risky proposition. The album marks a notable artistic
step forward and finds the band breaking through some
of the pure power pop barriers of their first two records.
Drawing equal influence from 80's post-punk and
classic power pop, the album offers a poignant,
yet decidedly pessimistic take on the metaphors of love
and war - all wrapped in a dense, fervently melodic
package. Tracks like "Grey Skies Black" and
"Broken Glass" burst to life with pulsating
guitar riffs, swirling effects and pounding drums...while
more the melody-laden hooks of "I'm In Love"
and "Seashells" recall the Well Wishers most
know and love.
Recording most of the album tracks at his home studio
allowed WW frontman and brainchild Jeff Shelton the
freedom and flexibility to experiment, embellish, explore,
and re-take after re-take until everything was completely
perfect.
We hope so... |
