█ From Whisperin' and Hollerin': █
█ The title track, which also lifts the curtain on Last HarbourÆs latest █
█ album which is an introspective and intimate affair, immediately invites █
█ comparisons to Michael GiraÆs later work as a solo artist, with Angels █
█ of Light and even latter day Swans. K CraigÆs rich, baritone drone plays █
█ a large part in this: the similarity is truly remarkable. ItÆs not just █
█ the sonorous baritone: the inflection, too, is comparable. But equally █
█ significantly, like GiraÆs more stripped-down compositions, the songÆs █
█ core is a simple chord sequence that derives a spellbinding intensity █
█ not from volume or crescendo or sonic force, but through simple █
█ repetition and understated epic qualities and colossal depth and reverb. █
█ █
█ ThereÆs a lightness of touch to the piano-led æNeverÆ thatÆs beguiling, █
█ even heart-warming on account of its richness, in the context of an █
█ album thatÆs decidedly chilly. Cleansed of the many layers of its █
█ predecessor, æVoloÆ, æYour Heart, It Carries the SoundÆ still succeeds █
█ in creating a resonant depth and detailed sound. It also manages to pack █
█ the kind of drama commonly associated with Nick Cave. █
█ █
█ The remarkably æCatherine RisingÆ has a folk-chant feel to it, and forms █
█ a bridge between the intimate confessional of æReplacementsÆ, which █
█ occasions one of the albumÆs few moments of volume, and to powerful █
█ effect. Amidst the maelstrom, K Craig remains solid, stoic, brooding. █
█ █
█ This is fundamentally the albumÆs leitmotif: the spare û but never █
█ shallow or predictable instrumentation û serves as a dolorous foil for █
█ CraigÆs resonant, cavernous singing. æThe Stars Look DownÆ exemplifies █
█ the perfect synergy between the poised drama of the rolling piano and █
█ guitars and the controlled tension of the vocals. █
█ █
█ Each track is a miniature epic that enmeshes the listener in sonic █
█ tendrils and refuses to let go. Enigmatic and subtly powerful, æYour █
█ Heart, It Carries the SoundÆ is a remarkable album that shows Last █
█ Harbour are a band who are still growing. While æYour Heart, It Carries █
█ the SoundÆ signifies a new peak, the signs are that their best work █
█ could still be ahead of them. █
