- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
While the music of The Night Undoes the Work of the Day is in a fairly
straight-ahead slightly alternative rock mold, the lyrical sentiments of this
set are pretty grim. Images of quiet despair are abundant, whether joyless
train and bus rides, regret over failed relationships, or reaching out for
romance with cautions about personal weaknesses that seem likely to scare off
many potential partners. Billy O'Neill, co-writer of most of the material
with keyboardist Ig, sings the material with a chin-up wary sternness. More
keyboard-based than much such rock, it's likely to be something of a
bringdown if you're not in tune with such downbeat moods, in spite of the
obvious sincerity of the compositions. "My Juliet" stands out from the batch
in its effective arrangement, consisting primarily of moody, almost doomy
splotches of keyboards.
