█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ Eighty-five minutes of material █▓ █
█ █▓ spread across two discs, Say God █▓ █
█ █▓ isn't so much █▓ █
█ █▓ a time commitment as a time eraser. █▓ █
█ █▓ Though it's ostensibly about █▓ █
█ █▓ Christianity-- █▓ █
█ █▓ "Holy Bible Time!" he announces at █▓ █
█ █▓ the outset-- Daniel Higgs' █▓ █
█ █▓ wandering journey █▓ █
█ █▓ is more about mind and spirit than █▓ █
█ █▓ scripture. He's fascinated by how █▓ █
█ █▓ mantras █▓ █
█ █▓ can kill the clock, how obsessively █▓ █
█ █▓ turning over a word or phrase can █▓ █
█ █▓ induce █▓ █
█ █▓ time-defying meditations. When he █▓ █
█ █▓ asks you to "Say God"-- a request █▓ █
█ █▓ he makes █▓ █
█ █▓ about 100 different times during █▓ █
█ █▓ the 11-minute title track-- the █▓ █
█ █▓ point seems █▓ █
█ █▓ less about the word than how often █▓ █
█ █▓ you should repeat it. For Higgs, █▓ █
█ █▓ the answer █▓ █
█ █▓ to the question of "how often" is █▓ █
█ █▓ probably "forever." █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ If that makes Say God sound like █▓ █
█ █▓ something other than music, well, █▓ █
█ █▓ it is. It's █▓ █
█ █▓ more like metaphysical stand-up █▓ █
█ █▓ comedy, or maybe free-form sermons, █▓ █
█ █▓ centered on █▓ █
█ █▓ Higgs' rambling speech and █▓ █
█ █▓ extemporaneous warbling. He'll pick █▓ █
█ █▓ an idea, vary █▓ █
█ █▓ it, dart around it, and land back █▓ █
█ █▓ on it, over music so minimal and █▓ █
█ █▓ distant you █▓ █
█ █▓ often forget it's there. The █▓ █
█ █▓ opening track, "Hoofprints on the █▓ █
█ █▓ Ceilings of Your █▓ █
█ █▓ Mind", sets that template █▓ █
█ █▓ immediately. Higgs is so obsessed █▓ █
█ █▓ with the title and █▓ █
█ █▓ how many ways he can sing it that █▓ █
█ █▓ he ends up addressing the █▓ █
█ █▓ obsession. "I █▓ █
█ █▓ worked really hard on this song, █▓ █
█ █▓ harder than usual," he confesses. █▓ █
█ █▓ "It sounds █▓ █
█ █▓ corny, but this song became a way █▓ █
█ █▓ of life for me." At the end, after █▓ █
█ █▓ getting █▓ █
█ █▓ re-mesmerized by his own singing, █▓ █
█ █▓ he wakes up again: "Well, now it █▓ █
█ █▓ has begun. I █▓ █
█ █▓ enjoyed the beginning very much!" █▓ █
█ █▓ All this OCD-ish self-hypnosis can █▓ █
█ █▓ be tedious █▓ █
█ █▓ even when it's amusing. But █▓ █
█ █▓ spiritual rituals often require you █▓ █
█ █▓ to endure █▓ █
█ █▓ tedium in order to reach something █▓ █
█ █▓ more profound. In that sense, █▓ █
█ █▓ Higgs' █▓ █
█ █▓ exercises are worth the work. █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ Besides, even with all the █▓ █
█ █▓ preaching, Say God can be pretty █▓ █
█ █▓ musical. Two █▓ █
█ █▓ straight-up instrumentals are █▓ █
█ █▓ perhaps the album's most moving █▓ █
█ █▓ pieces, █▓ █
█ █▓ especially "Song For Azariah", a █▓ █
█ █▓ mantra made of banjo plucks. But █▓ █
█ █▓ even Higgs' █▓ █
█ █▓ word-centered material is more like █▓ █
█ █▓ music than speech. He turns phrases █▓ █
█ █▓ into █▓ █
█ █▓ riffs and sentences into solos, █▓ █
█ █▓ counterpointing his own ideas like █▓ █
█ █▓ a █▓ █
█ █▓ horn-player reacting to a drummer. █▓ █
█ █▓ Following that progress can put you █▓ █
█ █▓ into █▓ █
█ █▓ weird frames of mind, where █▓ █
█ █▓ everything suddenly seems more █▓ █
█ █▓ profound. When I █▓ █
█ █▓ first listened to the 17-minute █▓ █
█ █▓ track "Root & Bough" on headphones █▓ █
█ █▓ during a █▓ █
█ █▓ subway commute, the section in █▓ █
█ █▓ which Higgs suddenly bursts into █▓ █
█ █▓ electronic █▓ █
█ █▓ drone-- only to cut it off just as █▓ █
█ █▓ abruptly-- lasted exactly as long █▓ █
█ █▓ as my trip █▓ █
█ █▓ up an escalator. I could almost █▓ █
█ █▓ hear Higgs laughing, thrilled that █▓ █
█ █▓ one of his █▓ █
█ █▓ cosmic jokes had found an █▓ █
█ █▓ accidental punch line. █▓ █
█ █▓ █▓ █
█ █▓ So Say God is funny, exhausting, █▓ █
█ █▓ and sometimes uplifting. Whether it █▓ █
█ █▓ is █▓ █
█ █▓ actually "entertaining" is a █▓ █
█ █▓ chicken/egg question-- do monks █▓ █
█ █▓ enjoy chanting, or █▓ █
█ █▓ the effect it has on their minds? █▓ █
█ █▓ Is a grueling workout fun, or do █▓ █
█ █▓ you remember █▓ █
█ █▓ it that way afterwards? Certainly █▓ █
█ █▓ there are moments here that you can █▓ █
█ █▓ laugh █▓ █
█ █▓ along with, zone out to, or get █▓ █
█ █▓ inspired by. But often at the end █▓ █
█ █▓ of these █▓ █
█ █▓ mental marathons, I find myself █▓ █
█ █▓ less interested in retracing the █▓ █
█ █▓ steps than in █▓ █
█ █▓ recapturing the feelings that █▓ █
█ █▓ result. The pleasure of following █▓ █
█ █▓ Higgs down Say █▓ █
█ █▓ God's shapeless paths lies more in █▓ █
█ █▓ where he takes you than how he gets █▓ █
█ █▓ you █▓ █
█ █▓ there. █▓ █
