Release Notes:
Quite why the worlds of post-rock and sensitive singer-songwriter
balladry donÆt meet more often is an enigma, as The Mojo FinsÆ
documentation of this chance meeting is quite special. TheyÆve taken
the feather-light tremolo guitars and precise, heavy-hitting percussion
beloved of more dramatically-inclined bands and then weighted them with
a steady stream of pop nuances. It's a transition made all the more
seamless by Stephen BrettÆs skill at manipulating his vocals to
complement, but never interfere with, the core of the songs.
This means that cuts like Owning My Condition and its angelic
background harmonies manage to veer away from clichΘdom and into the
heart, while Heligan strips the vocals back to bare bones and
concentrates instead of building upon layers of intricately
intertwining melodies to compensate for the loss. Switching emphasis
between voice and guitar can often be an unsteady path to walk but
Shake The Darkness maintains the balance with grace and poise.
