░ ░
"But there's a fortune to be had" said Bill Ryder Jones on the opening
track of Yawn "From telling people you're sad." But Bill won't be
ordering gold taps for his bathroom on your tear-ducts anytime soon,
simply because there's nothing mawkish or insincere going on in here.
Yawn is an album that looks for understanding --down the back of
life's sofa. Comfort is always close at hand, searched for: the album
lives and breathes it --but there's something stopping you from
grasping it, as if comfort itself has become an imprint of a fond
moment shared upon that very sofa. These are everyday stories about
situations we all fall from and into, out of, and back up against the
wall again--and they are sung to us, up close, by a voice still in
hock to a few uncomfortable truths. "I had a go at writing 'Get
Lucky' and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out" was the droll
sentence that made me spit coffee on my kecks 10 minutes after meeting
Bill in West Kirby. And gallows' humour is never far away from forming
a sentence or two in his mouth; a parental coping mechanism and a
prism with which he views those inevitable shit-happens moments. The
song in question was the album's closer 'Happy Song' and between it
and the opening note is his purest work to date. It all hangs
together. It is An Album in the age of playlists. A buckle-up and
knuckle-down listen that rewards the listeners' attention with motifs
and melodies that play hide and seek but never fail to deliver on
those between-the-lines verities. This musical belief of delayed
gratification is something Bill learnt from classical music as a
child, from Elgar and Debussy in particular -and over the long hall of
his short life, you can hear these riches being polished on Yawn. Most
of the 10 songs clock-in over the 5 minute mark and this wide-angle
lens affords us time to interpret and translate meaning -or just to
revel in it. It'll go the distance with a loyal audience that already
holds him dear. "I'm twice as much theirs because I'm relatively
unknown" said Bill. Like a good secret, I thought to myself, that's
how they see him. "I'd probably make Domino a fortune if I died
tomorrow." Note to reader: the penultimate track is called 'No One's
Trying To Kill You' Sonically the album picks up from where
'Satellites' left off from West Kirby County Primary. It is expansive
and robust, musical qualities that imbue lyrics with the confidence to
be fragile. It is indebted to a curiosity about the historical usage
of sound waves to manipulate and ameliorate, as much as it is to the
San Jose garage where Duster formed their first album. There are
landscapes here too, but this is a body of work less about rugged
coastlines and more about what grows inside if we leave it to brew. "I
didn't want to write another song about the sea" he proclaimed just
before we took a walk to the shore to look at his beloved over-the-
water Welsh hills. The arrangement and sonics on 'Don't be Scared, I
Love You' grow thunderous and lend to the song the tension of being
told those very words by someone experiencing the same storm, under
the same sky, in need of the same comfort. And this is true of much of
Bill's song-writing; there's little concrete reassurance -but look up
from the listen and he's there, putting down the guitar and handing
you a shovel to make a start on new foundations once the shitstorm has
passed. These taut, brooding, powerful sonics perhaps find their most
poignant lyrical foil on one of the album's stand out tracks 'And Then
There's You'. It is as emotionally accountable song as I can recall, a
flick-book of failed hopes underpinned with a guitar riff that goes
for the gut and succeeds, only to end-up coiled around your ears for
hours and hours after. It features his stock-in-trade wordplay: "My
mistrust, my mistress, takes me home again, my mistress, my mistrust,
we're alone again." Such is the song's majesty, it's very probably the
only one written since 1989 that would improve upon the Stone Roses
debut. It is as a multi-instrumentalist musician, as opposed to a
songwriter, that Bill exclusively identifies. Well, a musician and
Betty Rizzo from Grease. After an intro that musically hints at what's
to come by shaking-the-fuck-out-the-crockery, it is Rizzo's fabled
lines that open another album high point 'There Are Worse Things I
Could Do'. It is tender, raucous, confused and sublime: guilty, not
guilty at all. Delivered, like the entire album, without the slightest
touch of reverb. And there is a glorious friction that arrives when he
pronounces what he writes with such stoic elegance, a vocal style that
feels like he's delivering you a raw truth. You can't help be feel up-
close to him, until the next line arrives and you realise the need to
tell was the need to extricate himself from the situation, to move on
from the moment. Move along, dear listener; stop looking at me over my
garden fence. Sitting on life's sofa, sifting through thoughts is a
process that will eventually involve family: 'John' and 'Mither' do
just that. As a song 'John' is a subversion of a Dear John letter, a
paean to someone you still want around, a measure of fondness holding
true over time because of a willingness to compromise. Musically, it
begins metallic and tough, a train pulling out from its sidings before
revealing views of passing lives and bucolic green fields. A cello
(one of the only instruments Bill didn't play on the album) lends
pathos to 'Mither' --one of the greatest words to walk the North of
England. Or so it seems. It's a song about his mother, who he talks
about in a timbre warm as milky tea, worrying about her guinea pigs
instead of Bill (for once.) The same song also features the words of
someone in Bill's musical lineage, Mick Head, and features the
expression few who live by the river Mersey leave home without: Is
Right. And so to 'Recover' Bill's favourite song on the album, the
story of unwilling neglect and self-preservation, simply told with an
acoustic guitar strummed by an arm full of scars. Grief tourism is big
business in troubled times, but Bill doesn't want it to be West
Kirby's biggest export. I've a strong feeling that this album will be
just that.
