Music reviews of Pink Moon
Music Review: So real, so true, so Nick Drake....
Rating: 5 Stars
Many call this album stark, depressing, and disturbed. Yes, there are elements that are deeply sad, stark, and depressed, but I find most of the music beautiful, haunted, and beguiling. The title track is justifiably a Drake classic, and despite being used in a car commerical, I still love the song. The commercialisation of the song didn't hurt the integrity of it. Drake's music is like that. It's completely in its own universe than nothing can ever damage it. It's so pure and so unique. Nothing can poison it in the eyes of those who love this man's work.
This is the most stripped down album Drake ever did. It's just his voice, his guitar, his songwriting, and a touch of piano in the title track. That's all that's really needed. Despite the fact that his other albums have beautiful instrumentation (including appearances by Richard Thompson and John Cale), the stripped down quality of this recording really enhances it. I'm not going to say if this is my favorite Nick Drake album, but ultimately, it doesn't matter with him. All 3 of his albums are so unique and special there's no need to divide them up. They are like chapters in a book, all contributing to the greatness of the man himself. I miss Nick Drake quite a bit, but the albums will remain.
Description of Pink Moon
Reissue of the late British folk icon's final full-length album, released in 1972. 11 tracks. Slipcase. Island.Pink Moon is the sound of Nick Drake cracking up. That's not exactly true--some have long thought that his death by an overdose of an anti-depressant was an accident, and not suicide--but this album, recorded over two late nights, certainly sounds like a fever dream. Peter Buck of R.E.M. has called the album "Like an English version of (Robert Johnson's great blues) `Hellhound on My Trail.'" The lyrics to the title song read in their entirety: "Saw it written and I saw it say, pink moon is on its way. None of you will stand so tall, pink moon is gonna get ye all. And it's a pink moon." Aside from a splash of piano, the only instrumentation on this stark and spooky collection is Drake's eloquent acoustic guitar. --John Milward
