Description:
With his voice dipped in reverb, Peter Walker gently reminds us of the pre-histrionic honesty of Elvis at Sun Studios. With Chris Reynolds` drums pulsating at his back and Tim Hutton`s typewriter-like bass notes keeping things uncomplicated, Walker lays out his thirteen scenes. "We`re all swimming in the bottles of our own accord," he intones in "Can`t Relate". Elsewhere, in "Under The Knife", he confesses, "pleasure comes without control...I`m scared to love what death can touch." Another song, "Useless Amends" tells a lot in its title alone. As in his previous recordings, his new compositions, while not noticeably somber musically, are imbued with an underlying darkness. (Dangerbird Records)
