Album Review
Songs About Leaving is the third full-length release from Seattle nouveau rockers Carissa's Wierd. Highly deserving of the label "art rock" in many respects and "indie folk-rock" in others, Carissa's Wierd presents 12-tracks of hauntingly poignant vignettes, brought to life through a dynamic employment of classic string and keyboard elements (standouts include "Farewell to All These Rotten Teeth" and "September Come Take This Heart Away"). Jenn Ghetto and co-singer Matthew Brooke are extremely subtle in their vocalizations, with "You Should Be Hated Here" casting an almost ghost-like pall over chamber pop melodies, as well as "The Piano Song" and venomous scenarios "Sofisticated F**k Princess Please Leave Me Alone" and "Ignorant Piece of Sh*t." Their dual guitar play and vocal interchange are also well orchestrated to complement the moody, yet sprightly musical accompaniment of Sarah Standard and Jeff Hellis. Songs About Leaving's abundance of down-turned emotional muck may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it definitely stands out as something not quite so ordinary in the musical landscape.
Customer Reviews
Songs About Leaving
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song on the album is beautifully written, following the title theme, 'Songs About Leaving' wether about death, break-ups, or just general loss, all of the songs deal with Leaving in someway. The lyrics are astounding, wonderful imagery, excelent minimalist story telling, simple yet full of emotion. The one word I would use to describe this album would be melancholic. But in a way that is so profound that in my mind this album is the epitome of that word. Saddening in such a beautiful way. The music is soft, acoustic, and Jenn's voice is eerie yet soothing, while Matt's voice is stern in a muted sort of way. Every song on the album is amazing, some of them holding the "Top Played" out of all my 131 gigs of music. This is a purchase you will not regret in anyway shape or form.
Good.
Very truthful simple lyrics.
I like this band a lot.
