It was as if ██ ██ Dead Can Dance made a tribute album to Nina Simone with John ██ ██ Zorn. By choosing solid melodic content to reinterpret, Dyer ██ ██ was able to roam freely through brilliant, iconic songs like ██ ██ the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" and Ornette Coleman's "Lonely ██ ██ Woman." Her serpentine, meandering way of singing a lyric ██ ██ uncovered new harmonic as well as emotional layers to these ██ ██ classic songs. Dyer continues this approach on When I Close ██ ██ My Eyes, but with far inferior results. This time ██ ██ incorporating original material with covers of songs by ██ ██ artists such as Elysian Fields and Bj÷rk, Dyer delivers a ██ ██ pretentious, irritating, and downright boring album. Coming ██ ██ off like some grown-up goth girl still scribbling esoteric ██ ██ and self-obsessed lyrics in her diary, Dyer seems more ██ ██ interested in reciting lousy "poems" than singing anything ██ ██ melodically compelling. Seemingly significant mermaid ██ ██ imagery turns up in two different songs, but never takes on ██ ██ any kind of concrete metaphor. The title track contains the ██ ██ annotation "(Theater Piece)," and may be about ██ ██ something...theatrical? She sings, "When I close my eyes/A ██ ██ world appears too real to touch/Hands share a sigh/And time ██ ██ dissolves slowly on the tongue/There's shelter in shadows ██ ██ and silence in cries/Truth within lies/When I close my ██ ██ eyes." She even turns Emily Dickinson's poem "Evening" into ██ ██ a pointless and twee exercise in beatnik-era song poetry. ██ ██ But it's not just bad lyricism that disappoints; much of ██ ██ what she sings is melodically arbitrary. Working with what ██ ██ is referred to on the back cover as a "neo-chamber format of ██ ██ voice, bass, and drums," there aren't really any harmonic ██ ██ instruments to ground the vocals, and consequently Dyer ██ ██ never focuses in on any believable melody. Never, not once ██ ██ on the disc, does she deliver a hummable melodic statement. ██ ██ Instead, she sings in a kind of faux Indian pop style with ██ ██ lazy quarter tones thrown in as if to assert some sense of ██ ██ ethereal wisdom. Even on the cover tunes like Bj÷rk's ██ ██ "Bacherlorette," Dyer manages to drift from word to word as ██ ██ if she's making the tune up on the spot. Despite everything ██ ██ that is wrong with When I Close My Eyes, it still proves ██ ██ Dyer to be one of the most fearless vocalists on the jazz ██ ██ scene, but sometimes fear helps one set boundaries ù ██ ██ something Dyer should open her eyes to. ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ If you enjoyed this REC, BUY IT! otherwise delete it please ██ ██ because the Artist deserves your support! ██ ██ ██ ██ ▄ ▄ ■■ ▄ ▄ ██ ██ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▓▓▓▀▀ ▀ ▀■ ■▀ ▀■ ■▀ ▀ ▀▀▓▓▓▄▄▄▄▄▄ ██ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▓█▓█▓▓▀█▓▄■ TRACK LISTING ■▄▓█▀▓▓█▓█▓▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░░ ▀▓▀ ▀▓▀ ░░ ▒▒ ▒▒ ▓▓ ▓▓ ██ 01.mermaid 04:21 ██ ██ 02.i scare myself 05:27 ██ ██ 03.evening 05:48 ██ ██ 04.sara 03:00 ██ ██ 05.underworld 04:44 ██ ██ 06.new england cowboy 04:46 ██ ██ 07.the official story 05:11 ██ ██ 08.bachelorette 03:50 ██ ██ 09.one rupi one roti 05:15 ██ ██ 10.the felon 04:16 ██ ██ 11.she dreams 03:19 ██ ██ 12.when i close my eyes 03:52 ██ ██ 13.thirsty 11:27 ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ▄ ▄ ■■ ▄ ▄ TOTAL: 65:16 mins ██ ██ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▓▓▓▀▀ ▀ ▀■ ■▀ ▀■ ■▀ ▀ ▀▀▓▓▓▄▄▄▄▄▄ ██ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▓█▓█▓▓▀█▓▄■ TEAM INFORMATION ■▄▓█▀▓▓█▓█▓▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░░ ▀▓▀ ▀▓▀ ░░ ▒▒ ▒▒ ▓▓ * We are always looking for: ▓▓ ██ - Talented Music Rippers (allyear, allgenre, promo, vinyl ██ ██ and radio livesets) ██ ██ - prefered 100Mbits affiliated sites (NO! 10mbit bbb!!) ██ ██ ██ ██ * We are currently looking for: ██ ██ - A Dump site ██ ██ - iRC BNC Supplier ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ ██ And if you think that U can help us to make a better group ██ ██ don't hesitate, contact us!
