Album Review
Singer/songwriter Amy Millan (Sixteen Tons, Stars and Broken Social Scene) crafted a painterly debut with 2006's Honey from the Tombs, a soft and wistful Sunday drive of a record that was equal parts folk and country, with a hint of indie rock despair. 2009's Masters of the Burial opens the bedroom blinds a tad wider, bathing the room in a dusky glow that echoes late-period Sam Phillips and ex-Pulp guitarist-turned-modern-day Roy Orbison Richard Hawley. Millan offers up a sparse cover of the latter's "Run to Me" on Burial, an 11-track postcard from "a room or two away from the edge" that showcases the Canadian's impossibly warm voice and simple but effective melodies. Joined here and there by fellow "Great White North" crooners Evan Cranley, Dan and Jenny Whiteley, Leslie Feist, and Liam O'Neil, Millan's "plain jane" delivery may be occasionally sleep inducing, but it's comfort, not boredom that delivers the serotonin.
Customer Reviews
Great record
I had the opportunity to hear this album before it came out and it is truly her best work. I loved her first album but she really comes out strong on this record. I have been waiting all summer for this and I'm glad it is finally out. Thanks Amy.
Run for Me
Masters of Burial isn't as original and charasmatic as her first cd, Honey From the Tombs, but it definately is still worth downloading. Her voice is very beautiful.
MASTERS OF THE BURIAL /// Nostalgic and Forlorn
I don’t want to forget my story, and she certainly doesn’t let us forget theirs. Amy Millan, front woman of indie band Stars, publishes a second chapter with her album Masters of the Burial. An adjuvant account of love lost, love shamed, love searched and prithee, love found. Millan has assembled the talents of an Arts & Crafts smorgasbord, from horns to strings, from The Stills to Broken Social Scene, for her so-called solo project. But with friends like these and covers like Death Cab For Cutie’s I Will Follow You Into the Dark and Sarah Harmer’s Old Perfume, there’s an unfaltering affection for home, and her melody is a guiding compass under the vast sky. Burying herself to pen the lyrics, the formula is simple and the matter of love passionate enough that there’s no need for track-by-track extensive arrangements and musical flourishes. Tap into the unadorned feathered vocals of Amy in Day to Day, Bound to a country bad habit you can’t quit, and full stop to find peace in Run for Me. Although I prefer to follow Death Cab’s Ben Gibbard into the dark, where “towers make shadows,” Amy Millan is a restful place to be. In telling the stories of others, lonely becomes less lonesome and hope becomes less hopeless. We can almost see the faces of those she sings about and they remind us of ourselves and our stories, of my home and my yesterdays, and maybe after sitting with it for a while “I’ll find my way back to you.” [(c) 2009 simplymasses dot com]
