████ British singer Alex Clare strikes an enjoyable balance on his ████
████ third full-length, Tail of Lions. Here, the "Too Close" ████
████ songwriter follows his sophomore effort, Three Hearts, with a ████
████ further evolution of a sound that shines the spotlight on his ████
████ voice, rather than overblown effects like the ones found on his ████
████ dubstep-muddled debut, The Lateness of the Hour. Although a brief ████
████ whiff of dub-wobble does creep up on "Love Can Heal," it ████
████ thankfully doesn't overwhelm. On Tail of Lions, the sonic effects ████
████ add to the mood rather than distract or obfuscate, creating ████
████ spaced-out trip-hop heartbeats ("Get Real"), theatrical dramatics ████
████ ("Basic"), and calming relief ("Tired from the Fire"). Recorded ████
████ on a boat on the River Lea with Chris Hargreaves, album three is ████
████ a competent synthesis of his prior works, combining his use of ████
████ electronic flourishes with a lyrical depth and soulful delivery ████
████ reminiscent of contemporaries like Ray LaMontagne, Hozier, and ████
████ James Arthur. The power of his words and voice owes much to his ████
████ faith and devotion. After relocating from London to Jerusalem ████
████ with his family in 2015, Clare -- a devout Orthodox Jew -- dove ████
████ even deeper into Hasidic teachings and scriptures. Those ████
████ influences subtly appear on a handful of tracks ("Tired from the ████
████ Fire" and "You'll Be Fine"), as well as in the album title, which ████
████ refers to an ancient Jewish proverb that he explained as ████
████ following greatness instead of negativity. That positivity ████
████ envelops Tail of Lions, from the affirmative, literal song titles ████
████ to the reflective and uplifting lyrics. Sonically, Clare hasn't ████
████ lost his knack for melody and groove, especially on highlights ████
████ like the explosive funk jam "Surviving Ain't Living," the ████
████ visceral throbber "Gotta Get Up," and the rollicking "Open My ████
████ Eyes." That latter track is the most aggressive Clare gets on an ████
████ otherwise restrained album, a seething response to the political ████
████ turmoil in the U.K. and U.S. in 2016. While there's nothing here ████
████ as immediate and attention-grabbing as "Too Close," it's for the ████
████ better. Tail of Lions is consistent and concise, and finds Clare ████
████ on an upward trajectory where each successive release gets better ████
████ and better. ████
