What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Mingus feeling happy.

Fireworks Night: "As Fools We Are" (Kartel). Their singer sounds like David Bowie in a very croonsome way if you get my meaning. They've been likened to the 'Folknoir' of Bonnie Prince Billy, Joanna Newsom and the emotional theatrics of Grizzly Bear (reviewed above). Their sparse acoustic instrumentation draws you in from the off gathering momentum throughout, getting more challenging towards the end. If I was to review this cd in my own personal vernacular (or the way I speak, so to speak) I'd say it was music for emotional fools who love to get over emotional about emotional stuff. With me intellectual head on, I'd give you a blow by blow account of all the instruments used, needless to say there's loads of gear used and still I'd be no nearer putting across to you how this set seems to suck you into its heartbreaking attempts at musical/vocal brittleness. Music to watch the rain by...

What the label says:

Fireworks Night present a stunning set of sparse, simple acoustic songs, haunting waltzes and full on cabaret crescendos. This is beautifully delivered folk noir.   Will appeal to fans of Joanna Newsom, Grizzly Bear, Smog and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy.
