Average Rating:
 Rating: - The Empire strikes black (8.5/10)Micah P Hinson's fourth album - the first I've heard since his powerful debut `Michah P Hinson and the Gospel of Progress' - is an accomplished work and the sound of a prolific artist heading for an artistic peak. Produced by alt-rock mixing guru John Congleton, renowned for the dark gloss put on albums by the likes of Anthony & the Johnsons, Modest Mouse and Explosions in the Sky, `Micah P.

Hinson and the Red Empire Orchestra is the third album from the American singer-songwriter following his first two records with the 'Gospel Of Progress' and the 'Opera Circuit.' Early listens suggest this is a very different record from the first two. Whilst opener 'Come Home Quickly Darlin' and 'When We Embraced' are textbook Micah P. Hinson, songs such as 'I Keep Havin' These Dreams' and 'Sunrise Over The Olympus Mons' are alot more sparse and owe more to instrumentation. Although the album initially seems not to meet the standards of the first two, not only was that going to be difficult given the high standard set by Micah himself, the album appears to grow and unearth itself the more you listen. A 5 Star album no doubt, but where ... Read More: |
