Brave Little Soldier
The delicate balancing act between the familiar and the experimental is evident in the album's finest moments, the monstrous 12 minute opus "Ashtrayland" and the gut-wrenchingly romantic masterpiece "Jupiter's Gone." On both tracks, Rosenheim's vocal delivery is both poignant and tough, a perfect match for some of the finest lyrics he has written to date. "It hurts to be loved...but it hurts worse to love," sings Rosenheim, evoking the destruction of a million hearts with a line so beautiful in its simplicity that it seems incredible that it is sung here for the first time. The perfect foil for the flamboyant intelligence of Rosenheim's songs, drummer Gavin Foster is both the thinking man's percussionist and a dude with some serious chops. His playing is seamlessly intertwined with Rosenheim's vocals and lyrics, at turns delicate and vulnerable and aggressive and rowdy. Bassist John Murray gives another energetic and adventuresome performance, his lack of reservation a welcome counterpart to the surgical precision of Rosenheim and Foster. Hugh's music is a welcome reminder of what rock n' roll can and should be.
