Champion Birdwatchers
The Inconsolable Longing
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
Ooh, hear the rich woodgrain in that cello, underlying where a passionate vocal floats, and random rock guitar sounds have their way with the mixing board. Always a fantasy-laden story, calling on some CS Lewis/Eric Campuzano tendencies, this record seems to be a continuation in the previous record's musings. "Overswept" is basically a song in Hebrew, and is said to be II Kings 18:6. Every second of this disc is very intellectual and artistic, though much of it goes right over my head. To order, send $14 to: Red Shift Recordings, PO Box 30244, Spokane WA 99223
