Brother and Sister
I like this instrumentally a lot, more than I like the vocals or the lyrics. I don't like the way the last syllable of each sentence is held for several notes.
I like having harmonies and I know that that will recall FM for some, but thank goodness FM sounded a lot better than that to me. He plays the whole last two minutes. He uses "blue turns gray". Reminds me of his cover. Michele Last edited by michelej1; 12-11-2012 at 01:55 AM.. |

For me, it's the best of the lovely bunch. This work seems an extension of his OMS. And no distorted whisper vocals. !

To me Brother & Sister is one of hist best productions EVER.
And I love the instrumentation (the crazy percussion, amazing guitars, those strings!) also the sound quality in it. Warm, with an upfront voice, modern, mature. I assume the sound enginnering and/or mixing has been done by someone else. And some guest musicians. We all know Norah Jones can do a whole lot more, but I am Lindsey's fan, and I love just the color she gives to the harmonies. Refreshing. Much more than Seeds we Sow album, which I didn't like much the sound (guitars sounded a bit harsh sometimes, everything sounded less organic, and not very ellaborated for his standards, IMO). Anyway, Lindsey is on a great form again, I wish he will do a new album more with this approach... and win some Grammys not many more oldies tours, but new material. He can sound more modern and imaginative that most of the current young indie artists to me. Last edited by xhector; 12-13-2012 at 05:29 PM.. |

I think, instrumentally, It's a toppiece. I agree with Michelle the Chorus is Pretty bland and lyrically flat. I don't see Why you should repeat the words brother and sister that much and with such urge. Bit awkward to my ears. But musically I agree, It's fresh and modern, even innovative.

I keep addicted to these songs.. ... and vocally! wow these are great performances. So it seems it's been produced by someone else (well, i'm sure co-production would be more accurate, I don't think anyone can produce Lindsey, just listen, learn, maybe sort some ideas and share responsability, and yes, the technical part, which sure sounds different than the last records). As a musician in these three songs, he sounds liberated. Like if, free of having to build a sonic concept, turn the knobs and everything, he just goes to the mic and sings his heart out or play a guitar part in just one take. I love all kinds of Lindseys, but I think I never heard Lindsey so natural and well recorded. Lyrically, well, if the lyrics aren't great I have an advantage as a non native English speaker hehe - to understand I should pay attention and make an effort, which I haven't done yet. |

Simply put, these tracks are less fussy and more fun than anything on his last three albums.
