From teenage drug addiction, jail and homelessness, the Texan already had a reservoir of experience from which to draw the doleful country-folk songs of debut ΓΓ鼪And The Gospel Of Progress. Four years and two further albums on, press interviews have shown him intent on losing his image as a reformed fuck-up, but astute enough to realise it makes a damn good backstory. With that in mind, itΓΓé¼Γäós tempting to read more into this new record. There appears, for instance, to be a recurring theme of letting go, while simultaneously questing for things he fears unattainable. ΓΓé¼┼ôConstantly craving something that isnΓΓé¼Γäót mineΓΓé¼┬¥, he sings, against the urgent hum of a Hammond organ, on ΓΓé¼┼ôTell Me It AinΓΓé¼Γäót SoΓΓé¼┬¥. At other times, heΓΓé¼Γäós haunted by thoughts of dying alone and, as on ΓΓé¼┼ôYou Will Find MeΓΓé¼┬¥, the idea ΓΓé¼┼ôthat these are dreams that I only dream/ Do I dream alone?ΓΓé¼┬¥. But the real beauty of this wholly engaging record is the contrast between HinsonΓΓé¼Γäós dry basso profundo and the (almost) euphoric banks of strings that swell behind banjos and acoustic guitars. The chamber music-noir of ΓΓé¼┼ôI Keep HavinΓΓé¼Γäó These DreamsΓΓé¼┬¥ sounds like a despondent relative of ΓΓé¼┼ôEleanor RigbyΓΓé¼┬¥, while ΓΓé¼┼ôWe WonΓΓé¼Γäót Have To Be LonesomeΓΓé¼┬¥ has the ΓΓé¼╦£60s sweep of a Spectoresque teen ballad. As does ΓΓé¼┼ôSunrise Over The Olympus MonsΓΓé¼┬¥, whereby Hinson mutters ΓΓé¼┼ôOh love of my lifeΓΓé¼┬¥ into the infinite space of a drained shot glass. Imagine Jack Nitzsche producing Silver Jews. Of course, nobody does solitary quite like Micah P either. His own peculiar, twilit world is evoked strongest on ΓΓé¼┼ôThrew The StoneΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôThe Fire Came Up To My KneesΓΓé¼┬¥, his bony voice backed by the faintest of guitar figures. Rich in its moods, this could well be HinsonΓΓé¼Γäós best yet. cd ripped by dBpoweramp please seed http://dickthespic.org/2010/10/18/micah-p-hinson/ Related Torrents
