Customer Reviews
Gorgeous, well worth the wait!
Happy's 11th album, her first since 1998's Many Worlds Are Born Tonight, is a gorgeous piece of work, well worth the long wait. It's a very personal album, not unusual with Happy, but also as usual, her themes will often resonate with the listener. The songs range from the haunting title track, about a woman lost at sea (not a metaphor, and not inspired by Kate Bush's The Ninth Wave, though it's a funny coincidence, considering Happy's voice); "Charlie" which is directly inspired by Robert Crumb's brother Charles (seeing the documentary Crumb is pretty much the only way to truly understand the song); "She Won't Go," "Can't Let Go" and "One And Many," a sister trilogy of songs about her inner struggle to either destroy or embrace, or at least understand her past inner demons (a common theme but never boring when Happy sings about it); "Here And Hereafter" which if there were any justice in the world, would be a massive hit because it's just about the perfect love song (though, it being by Happy Rhodes, contains some very dark undercurrents about the fear of losing someone you live, that no one would pick up unless they were really paying attention to the lyrics), and others. There's not a bad or filler song on this album. Happy's voice is its usual stunning thing, with highs and lows and multiple harmonies. All the voices on the album are her. Musicians appearing on the album include percussionist Bob Muller, Trey Gunn, the heartrending piano of Rob Schwimmer (on the title track especially), Hansford Rowe and Bon Lozaga of Gongzilla, and orchestral arrangements by Michael Seifert, among others. Thank you Happy. Welcome back!
Well worth the long wait!
Happy is incredibly underrated! “Find Me” is a fantastic album that is easily accessible at times and more experimental at others. There is a nice mix on this record. The title track is a gorgeous, enyaesque tale, of a woman being slowly consumed by her aquatic surroundings, that conjures vivid and haunting imagery. Two standout tracks include Here and Hereafter (a beautiful love ballad with a somewhat unpredictable chorus) and Charlie (a track that steadily builds up to its full fruition rich with plenty of guitar and distorted vocals) which are must haves! Other highlights include Little Brother, Treehouse, Queen, and Fall. The album as a whole is solid and filled with a variety of soundscapes Happy fans have grown to love from vocals that are layered with her incredible four octave range, to otherworldly sounds that are indescribable. This newest addition to the Happy collection satisfies, yet leaves one thirsty for her next release!
Dark progressive pop with an amazing vocalist.
Happy Rhodes’ music reminds one of Russian nesting dolls. The outside doll is full geeky swagger: processed guitars, ambient sound effects, complex polyrhythm and a deep, androgynous voice using imagery that wouldn’t be out of place on the cutting edge of speculative fiction. Crack open the doll, and you have the pure soprano, vulnerable voice of a child and the heart of a confessional folkie. While she does separate these two aspects, they often come together in the same song. In her lower register she sounds like Annie Lennox crossed with David Bowie; in her higher voice she sounds eerily like early Kate Bush, awesome, considering that Rhodes is a 40-something woman. Such tracks as “One and Many,” “Little Brother” have two songs within them, one prog rock and the other delicately atmospheric; the effect is like she is speaking to different parts of herself. “Charlie” is darkly humorous character sketch about the fight between art and madness. “Find Me” and “ The Chosen One” are all sung in her ethereal voice; she achieves something as a angelic as any Enya album, with layers of her voice chorusing around her. The closing “Fall” is a beautiful ambient-ish hymn as arresting as anything she’s done.
