Synopsis

Amazon.com

The Eugene, Oregon-based quartet Deke Falcon had been together only a little more than a year at the time of their first release, but it's an amazingly mature work. This is largely due to the already well-developed songwriting of frontman Patrick Hayden. His singing has an everyman immediacy, but can be sly and flexible as well. There's a Neil Young & Crazy Horse rough-and-tumble resonance to the playing on the ten songs, with arrangement sensibilities that land somewhere between Sonic Youth and Gram Parsons. The closer, "More Than Enough," trails off into the sunset in a psychedelic swirl of dust and splintered sunlight. --David Greenberger

CD Reviews

Crisp and Raw

Jeff E. Forester | Minneapolis, MN | 03/09/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was amazed at this album, first becasue it is an album in the old sense of that word, a collection of songs that chip away at a constant thematic, in this case turning a crystaline clear eye on modern materialistic Americana. None the less, the recordings are raw, new and fresh and powerful. This is an album where the muscian has opened a vein, and poured it out.

It also rocks. I've found myslef leaving this one in the CD changer for a few weeks now, and am glad when it comes 'round again, for I always hear something new and interesting.

This is a voice that will be around for a long time I hope. Like James Joyce in Finnegans Wake, there is an epoic unfolding here. It is an album that will endure by an artist that obviously has much more to say."
