CD Review: UNKLE, War Stories
Aug 7, 2007 7:06 PM Kristi Kates (Writer)
Utilizing
a more organic, live-performance approach and bringing in a plethora of guest
musicians has added several interesting levels to UNKLE's latest, which is, by
turns, aggressive and ruminating but never dull. Rich piano and strings course
through "Chemistry," while the gothic feel of "Price You
Pay" is the perfect segue into "Burn My Shadow," the first of
Cult singer Ian Astbury's two wearily suave vocal appearances. Gavin Clark's
sliding tones highlight another pair of tracks. And UNKLE's own James Lavelle
even makes his first welcome vocal contribution on the "Don't Bring Me
Down" sounds of "Hold My Hand."
