Brian

According to several of the seven mixes on the CD EP Ali Click, "Brian's been amusing his friends by chewing on some plastic flashbulbs." "Ali Click" the tune, originally released on Eno's superb Nerve Net, is a groovy, rhythmic techno rocker perfectly suitable for creating dance mixes. Eno's sound-over-sense lyrics, presented in rap-like rhymes, heighten the composition's appeal. The closing track, "I Fall Up," is the real climax here. Originally recorded for Eno's unreleased My Squelchy Life (1993), this cut is also included on the three-CD box set, Brian Eno: Vocal. Like "Ali Click," "I Fall Up" is abundant with choice phoenetic jabberwocky ("More volts/I'm sucking the juice from the generator/Burn up/turn into a lanky housemaid/Sail up/I'm cackling off to the Congo")…

The lead singer of beloved heartland-punk band The Gaslight Anthem, Brian Fallon steps away from that sound and into a stripped-down Americana space on his third solo album, Local Honey. Produced by Grammy-award winning producer Peter Katis (The National, Frightened Rabbit, Death Cab for Cutie), the album showcases Fallon's songwriting in small vignettes, from a loving devotional for his daughter to a vengeful murder ballad. "Every single song is about right now. There's nothing on this record that has to do with the past or even the future, it just has to do with the moments that are presented and things that I've learned and I'm finding in my day to day. This record is 100 percent about the day today. It's not about these glorious dreams or miserable failures, it's just about life and how I see it." - Brian Fallon

This unabashedly eclectic album features stirring and varied songs by American composer Ben Moore, written over a period of some 30 years and ranging from modern art song to musical theater and cabaret. The texts span some 2,600 years from the ancient poet Sappho to contemporary lyrics. Conceived early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Gathering is united by its message of hope in troubled times and hope for a brighter future.

“Anybody fancy a season of BM re-releases with lots of juicy extras?” asked Brian May through his Instagram feed in 2020. “We’re working on a plan!!!” The first stage of that plan comes to fruition now, with the long-awaited reissue of the legendary Queen guitarist’s superlative debut solo album. Almost 30 years on from its initial release, Back To the Light stands as an intimate and expansive testament to the talent and tenacity of one of the foremost guitarists and songwriters of his generation.

Following four years after The Drop, Drawn From Life sees Brian Eno collaborating with German DJ J. Peter Schwalm. (Music for Onmyo-Ji, a previous Eno/Schwalm work from 2000, was released in Japan only.) Those who soured at the distant crispness of The Drop will find this to be a more inviting listen, even more so than Eno's 1996 collaboration with bassist Jah Wobble on Spinner. Jazzy, shuffling rhythms and strings that sway from cutting to sighing lay the foundation of most of the tracks, with some repetitive nonmusical effects often falling somewhere in the mix. If there is a fault of the record, it's that the vocals often get in the way of some fine background listening. If you don't have an affinity for Laurie Anderson's voice, you might be troubled that "Like Pictures, Pt. 2," which otherwise happens to be one of the record's most melodic and tranquil tracks, is interrupted by her intonations…
