I was pleasantly surprised. It is a hard album to place. With bursts of jazz then moments of Leonard Cohen reincarnate, it is intense without being dramatic. Definitely an album to sink into.
๐ง Guy Pearce – The Nomad
‘The Nomad’ was an very personal and raw experience for me. It came as a result of my marriage ending in January of 2015. After going on the road to tour โBroken Bonesโ in February I then started work on new material. As much as it delves into the melancholy at times it does allow for that beautiful โsilver liningโ that keeps us going in life. It was such a joy to collaborate with my old pal Joe Henry at โUnited Recordingโ in LA. What an amazing and historic studio, and working with the musicians Joe invited in was a truly inspiring and uplifting process.
Each Friday I scroll through the new releases fo something to listen to. I saw The Nomad and cringed. There is something about an actor who decides to turn their hand to music – Russell Crowe! After not finding much else I came back to Guy Pearce.
If that appeals, I recommend Paul Buchannan album called Mid Air. Amazing work from one of the UKs finest song writers
Shades of Peter Gabriel? Subtle music, really cut back. Thanks for the recommendation, enjoying it.
