Music reviews of What Will We Be (Limited Edition)
Music Review: Beardless Boy Does Good
Rating: 4 Stars
I first saw Devendra Live in Brooklyn, just before his album came out on young God. Michael Gira was raving about him, and I had to hear him.... I deeply regret not seeing him many more times back in those early days...
I have really been a fan ever since that first time in Brooklyn, he sat there, bare footed on a table, on the stage...and just blew me away. I don't think I have ever enjoyed a Michael Gira support "group" ever so much as this one, although I do like Melissa Nadler.
So the album itself. I understand how Devendra has essentially evolved and grown. Devendra is one of those artists that does his own thing. Although I tend to think this is perhaps how Devendra always wanted to sound, or was building up and evolving to this point, consciously. One can only wonder what strange things David Tibet has exposed our Devendra too, I note Dev's Wiccan Tatoo.... and the thelemic imagery on the last album. Although Dev's music sounded too positive for anythign negative to have crept in.
The Album is then a logical conclusion. The first album "Oh me..." was afterall a demo tape he never thought would be released. So really his first album proper were the subsequent Nino Rojo and Rejoicing in the hands on Young God records.
So as noted the sound has been cleaned up, but this was hinted at on smokey rolls (Dev's previous album)but Smokey's major failure was that it was too long and there were far too many voices all chiming in at once...it was fun, but a mess, the sound of someone allowed to finally work in a group and explode onto plastic.
What will be conversly explores this more refined sound of Devendra without the clattering of too many voices. Indeed as Smokey was too long, this one leaves you wanting more...and more. But then that is a good thing, always leave them wanting more....leave us wantign more, so we play it again, and/or wait for the next album...or tour (Dev is far bettter live than on any compact disc!).
What will be then sounds like a solo record again, which allows the songs to breathe and Devendra to do his thangggg....
You may not like the cleaned up sound, and personally I was skeptical, and even more afreaid when I initially played it. But, it grew on me... the Chorus of Baby hit me "Travelling in my Choo Choo train....wooo hooo"
I was hooked, and I knew, this was another Devendra classic that I would come back to repeatedly for years.
Other Highlights include:
First song for B, a sombre gentile song that almost makes you want to cry, in a similar vein to Devendra's "Autmn's child, or I remeber" from his earlier works.
16th & Valencia Roxy music...just grabs you and draws you in... you'll be bopping and singing to it...Yes it does have TRex and /or Roxy music undertones...
The Limited Edition comes with a nice booklet of lyrics, similar to the one that came with Smokey (last album)...full of Dev's art...
Description of What Will We Be (Limited Edition)
2 LP 180 Gram Vinyl Edition includes 2 bonus tracks: 'Welcome To The Island' and 'Pray For The Other Person's Happiness'. What Will We Be has a sunny, breezy feel with performances that evoke warm, lazy afternoons spent with good friends. The album is dominated by powerfully melodic, mid-tempo numbers played with relaxed expertise. But there's also ambitious stylistic range displayed with the inclusion of evanescent ballads like 'Meet Me At the Lookout Point,' the epic riff-rocker 'Rats' sprightly R&B flavored groovers on 'Baby,' and the sultry Latin-flavored stunner 'Brindo,' the Roxy-inspired '16th & Valencia Roxy Music' among other pleasant surprises.Alternative Rock CDs
