Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
For Pieces of April, his second foray into movie soundtracks (2001's sublime score for Eban & Charley was the first), underground pop impresario Stephin Merritt supplies a succinct set boasting equal appeal to long-time fans and newcomers. The latter should appreciate the inclusion of material from the best-known of Merritt's multiple bands, including three numbers plucked off the Magnetic Fields' critically lauded 69 Love Songs and two from the 6ths' Hyacinths and Thistles, featuring guest-warbling by Momus and Squirrel Nut Zippers' Katherine Whalen. The big draw for devotees is five new selections: "All I Want to Know" is enlivened by sitar licks, while clip-clop rhythms impart the bittersweet "Dreams Anymore" with a hint of classic country kitsch. Merritt's lyrics remain as sharp and funny ("We belong together/Like sex and violence", he croons on "Heather Heather"), but it's the ever-inventive arrangements—such as the offbeat blend of ukulele and harmonium on "One April Day"--that make these gems especially memorable. --Kurt B Reighley
