Another Review from the U.K. - Zeitgeist Magazine

[merchy]

Here's a CD review from Zeitgeist, an idiosyncratic collection of
music news and reviews.


JEFF MERCHANT
City Makes No Sound

I really enjoyed Jeff Merchants debut album, "Window Rolled Down", so
was pleased to see that he's found time in his busy schedule to put
another one out.

A lot of the songs are of the lush, orchestrated variety, the kind of
thing that people rarely go to the bother of making anymore. But where
are the Electric Light Orchestra and Jellyfish fans supposed to go for
their jollies? I mean, there aren't that many violas in popular music
anymore.

It's proper, grown-up pop music that never falls into the tepid, faux-
rock trap that so many musicians fall into once they reach a certain
level of maturity. Which is why followers of the Finn Brothers may
find some solace in songs like 'A Friend Of Mine'. Beach Boys fans
should head for 'Love Yourself' and lovers of dark, gothic pop should
be making an urgent dash for 'Crazy Ship'.
