Graham Parker & The Rumour – Mystery Glue (2015)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 47:47 minutes | 577 MB | Genre: Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © UMC (Universal Music Catalogue)
Mystery Glue from Graham Parker and the Rumour was written in Parker’s second home of New York and recorded in only six days in London. The material is a real return to form for Parker and his powerhouse band, one of the UK’s pioneering pre-punk outfits, often cited as a major influence on other artists including Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, Paul Weller and Bruce Springsteen. Mystery Glue, featuring the Rumour’s original 1970s lineup, is an album of conscious rock, harking back to Parker’s genre-defining music of the ’70s while paying homage to Dylan, reggae, soul and rock ‘n’ roll.
“When Swiss astrophysicist Fritz Zwicky described dark matter in the 1930s, he got the name wrong. It is of course ‘mystery glue’ that holds the universe together … when I present new songs to the Rumour they work feverishly to make sense of them, often starting out with wildly disparate and alarmingly wrong diversions. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, everything falls into place, as if by dint of some Mystery Glue that holds us all together.” –Graham Parker

Graham Nash’s second solo effort has been overshadowed by his harmonic heroics as a senior partner in the various Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young configurations. After being lured from the Hollies — where his latter contributions were criminally unappreciated (see, or rather hear Dear Eloise/King Midas in Reverse) — it was Nash who had come up with most of the CSN(Y) hit singles, including “Marrakesh Express,” “Our House,” and “Teach Your Children.” His 1971 debut, Songs for Beginners, was likewise filled with inspired moments such as “I Used to Be a King,” “Chicago/We Can Change the World,” and “Sleep Song.” Topping those efforts would have been superhuman. Such is the way that Wild Tales has been eclipsed and overlooked by enthusiasts of his previous endeavors. Nash gathered a core aggregate of musicians, many of whom were loosely connected to the CSNY family. These include: Johnny Barbata (drums), Tim Drummond (bass), David Lindley (guitar), and Ben Keith (pedal steel guitar/dobro), and, of course David Crosby (vocals). Also making guest shots were Dave Mason (12-string guitar), Joe Yankee (aka Neil Young) (acoustic piano), and Joni Mitchell (vocals). Together, they animate Nash’s slice-of-life compositions. Musically, Nash retains much of the whimsy that drew folks to his earlier songs. Likewise, the subject matter ranges from political (“Oh Camil” and “Prison Song”) to the emotionally naked “Another Sleep Song” and “I Miss You.” Nash would bring several of these tunes back to the CSNY fold for their 1974 tour — including the up-tempo rocking title track, as well as the folkie “Prison Song.” It would be another seven years after Wild Tales before Nash would issue his next solo album, Earth & Sky — which fared as poorly at its predecessor. –Lindsay Planer

Glasgow drummer and composer Graham Costello returns with his second STRATA album, ‘Second Lives’, out May 7th on Gearbox Records.
Second Lives spans Reichian minimalism, semi-free jazz à la Binker and Moses, polyrhythmic math rock, and pensive, cinematic ambience. The album was recorded straight to tape last summer at RAK Studios with co-producer and engineer Hugh Padgham at the helm, mixed at British Grove, and subsequently mastered in-house at Gearbox. The inspiration and wider themes of Second Lives sit with thoughts of identity, heritage, and Stoicism, as well as the theme of overcoming inner challenges – what you face and the process you go through to get to the other side.

Genres such as milonga, Venezuelan waltz and choro are featured, in music suffused with lyric melancholy and vivacious, biting rhythms. “His musicianship is unimpeachable, his fleet technique is world-class”, wrote “American Record Guide” of Graham Anthony Devine.

Rolling guitar plucks atop sonic waves of keys and sweeping violin strings usher in the folk-y croon of Graeme James in ‘The Wild’ as he longs for the comforts of the outdoors. James says of the new song, “Having been raised in Ng?motu / New Plymouth, with the wild sea on one side and the solitary peak of Mt Taranaki on the other, I was blessed with an abundance of places to explore and get lost in. ‘The Wild’ is a song born from a universal longing for this wilderness and solitude, and it explores the soul’s desire to feel small under the open sky, to feel lost amongst the grandeur of the mountains, and to commune with the transcendent in the quiet beauty of the wilderness.”
