Music reviews of Days in the Wake
Music Review: Darkly fascinating
Rating: 4 Stars
This album is an enigma... I don't know why I like it so much, or why I've recomended it to every fan of quality music I know. To reduce this album to its basic parts doesn't leave one with much: Will Oldham can't play guitar very well, his voice fails him in many instances, the writing is not terribly complex... basically lots of repetition musically and lyrically, and for the most part, these sound like first takes recorded on a walkman... but, it's so damn compelling... it's trance-inducing music, it reminds a little bit of the poetry of Taggart or the fiction of Rick Bass: repeat a simple theme over and over again with slight variations until it just becomes lodged in the listener's brain. For instance, the opening "You will miss me when I burn" repeats "When you have no-one/No-one can hurt you"... there's little else to the song... very sparse writing, but it's haunting, in gets in you. Will's cracking voice and amateur guitar just manages to sound so sincere, so desperate. The other highlight is the closer "I am a Cinematographer" again, the repetition of the title phrase takes on greater and greater weight amid the other slight, simple lyrics... in the end, Oldham leaves a lot of the work up to the the listener... that's why it sounds unpolished. This is music that demands the listener finish some of the logic, make meaning of the songs: what does "I am a cinematographer mean"? Who can say? I took it as "I am only an observer" or "I see things the way I want to see them"... but, the great thing is that your own take on it will vary. And may change after many listens. Yes, it's a challenging album, but well worth the trouble.
