Greg Dulli's Twilight Singers Continue to Expand
Jonathon August | 01/13/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This new release by the Twilight Singers follows their full length Powder Burns. While A Stitch in Time may not be as good as that record, this easily proves itself to be a worthwhile EP, and a great addition to anyone's music collection.



The EP kicks off with a phenomenal cover of Massive Attack's Live With Me-- a slow, intense track with an excellent vocal from Mark Lanegan. the guitar, while simple, is slow and sombre, and the vocals from both Lanegan and Dulli are filled with emotion. This version is as good, if not better, than Massive Attack's.



From Here things transition to the excellent Sublime. Joseph Arthur takes lead here, backed by Dobro, a wall of mellow guitars, and some very good, almost Hip-Hop style drumming. After that is Flashback, which I believe is another cover(not sure though). Lanegan and Dulli take vocals again here, this time a more even split. This is a very fun track that really rocks and for some reason hits me with an almost retro vibe.



They Ride is probably the best track here, after Live With Me. Dulli is in fine form here, and while it doesn't have any real genius lines like back in the Whigs days, I do agree with other review that it's similar stylistically with Dulli's previous band. Probably the most intense and straight forward rock song here, with solid guitar riffs and a solid solo. The album finishes out with The Lure Would Prove Too Much, which, aside from the excellent song title, is one of the best ballads Greg Dulli has ever written. Very slow, well constructed song. It's interspersed with phone messages between Dulli and some woman. A solid end to a great EP.



All in all, this is a change stylistically from previous TS releases, but makes for an always interesting listen. The whole record has a fun, laid back, almost spur of the moment atmosphere to it, but still retains its ability to make one think, and has a few moments that genuinely touch you. A solid 20 some minutes of music from some of the best musicians around-- not a bad way to spend $7.00."
