Product Description

Description

Singer-songwriter Alejandro Escavedo has always thrived on mixing genres and textures, but that process and Escavedo's own development as an artist reach an apotheosis on 2006's BOXING MIRROR. Folding rock, country, pop, Latin elements, and other styles into his unique aesthetic, Escavedo, with help from producer John Cale, has made an album of remarkable power and beauty. Occasionally coming across as a strange, countrified acoustic version of synth-punk, the album's musical landscape is only part of its appeal. Escavedo has reacheddeep to craft the moody, reflective, sometimes harrowing compositions here, and with soul-searching tunes like "Arizona" and "Notes on Air", BOXING MIRROR becomes much more than apop album: it is a riveting musical journey of self.

4.0 out of 5 stars Skewed Americana , 3 Jul 2006
By Care Bear "woodenlodge" (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
This is a great album of modern americana, each of the songs has great hooks and lyrics. John Cale's production has a crisp edginess to it which makes the most of Escovedos vocals and lyrics and lifts the music above the ordinary. Several tracks feature the raspy viola of Mr Cale himself, which it is always good to hear. Some of the songs/production work echo Cale's last but one album, 'Hobosapiens', but that is praise from me, I would also give that work four stars. Commended.
