Your Heart Is Not Broken
CDR | KR17 | Edition of 125
As well as tearing it up with his rock band San Lorenzo, Owen
Tromans has been producing diverse, consistently engaging solo
records for a while now.
Lyrically rooted in English suburbia and the countryside that
lies beyond, Owens music manages to combine what Time Out
London called uncluttered and intensely beautiful ballads with
fiery guitar-based music.
"Your Heart Is Not Broken" is the
follow-up to "Place", an album recorded in Northern Italy with
local musicians. The features a re-working of the live
favourite Johns on the Bridge from Place. Whereas the album
version is a meditative, building piece, here the song
explodes with energy throughout its stormy 12 minutes. An
incredible, emotive band performance.
The other tracks were recorded with the help of Joe Bennett of
Goldrush and feature a greater use of harmony vocals than
previously found on an Owen Tromans release. Circle and the
obligatory instrumental When there was Speedway demonstrate
Owens gift for melody whereas The Woodcutter Song and The
Queen of the May continue his reinvention of English folk
forms. As Delusions of Adequacy stated; at this point, Owen
Tromans stands at a truly unique place in contemporary music.
