| 4.0/5.0 - Excellent [Jimmie Stephens, SputnikMusic] |
| |
| When Something For Kate first formed, they were considered to be a more |
| of a full on rock group, though as the years have progressed things have |
| changed and they have become what some consider as folk pop. Though on |
| their fifth album Something For Kate are able to merge both these genres |
| together and create what they have called Desert Lights. |
| |
| Their previous release The Official Fiction - an album that this |
| reviewer adores too much for his own good - left the basic three piece |
| sound that they had stuck to for so many years, by adding orchestral |
| arrangements to many of the songs, though Desert Lights returns us back |
| to the original Something For Kate sound. When recording this album, it |
| was no secret that Paul Dempsey had suffered a case of writers block, |
| though on the opening track `California\' he sings, with much sarcasm |
| \"It\'s a beautiful life\" and by the end you as the listener are quite |
| confused to whether Dempsey is trying to force himself to believe it |
| since his lyrics are often plagued with many depressing references. |
| |
| As the album continues through each track, new sounds appear that you |
| can\'t quite compare to anything else. And it becomes obvious that this |
| band is taking things to a completely different place. `This Is The |
| Life\' with Dempsey\'s beautiful voice floating above the driving guitar, |
| and then there is `Was Outed To Sea\' with an almost lullaby like piano |
| accompaniment giving Something For Kate a totally different sound. The |
| band also keeps the melodic feeling that they showed with their past two |
| albums, but unlike the others these songs seemed to be soaked in |
| darkness. The passion of the band is also at large here and makes |
| Something For Kate\'s previous outings look like a happy Christmas day. |
| |
| Desert Lights shows even with a case of writers block, Something For |
| Kate are still some of the best writers in the business. Instead of |
| sitting with the common trend they do things differently, with intricate |
| melodies and guitar solos that you can tell Dempsey has spent hours |
| thinking over. Plus Stephanie Ashworth\'s smooth bass lines and Clint |
| Hyndman\'s erratic drumming and you have a band to be reckoned with. |
| |
| Backing up the amazing release that The Official Fiction is, it was |
| always going to be a hard task, and even more difficult when Dempsey, |
| the band\'s main contributor is suffering writers block, though Something |
| For Kate have added quite a fantastic album to their catalogue with |
| Desert Lights. This is poetic depression at its best. |
