by: John Henry Lambert
Release Date April 25, 2007
Music doesn't always have to be about the bells and whistles and big gestures of mainstream rock. Sometimes, it can be just as much about nuance, mood and tone. John Henry Lambert's 'Gone Away' is firmly in the latter camp. Scott Walker once said that he wanted to achieve a 'perfect stillness' in his music - I dunno if he ever achieved it, but Lambert comes close here. The album inculcates a sense of poetic, Autumnal British melancholy that is engrossing. Melancholy doesn't mean depressing - it's more the pastoral hues and warm earthy tones of this frequently mesmerising work that lifts it into a class of its own. You may only need one album like this - but make sure it's 'Gone Away' - it'll haunt you - but in a good way!
