Modular People

Album Review: You Am I - Self Titled (2010)

by Muscles

Tender, soft and sharp. Ingenious each song structurally, so naturally a talent that can only be measured by years. Beginning to end, long time fans familiar with the expected coaxial nature of the songsmith. Where mid-song the magic suddenly veers into the unexpected. An almost parallel rural-city assemblage of stories forming a multi-suburban, transdimensional whole. The twelfth chapter, an ongoing saga, vivid rock drama, modern day calignosity.

A clear city night; stars and satellites sparkle, glitter above. Repeated listens, listeners become aware of the collective layers, themes that spill from one track to the next, like an 1830's steam carriage with it's boiler, and lonely steam haulier. This self titled record sends the listener into learned, meditative state; lie on the floor of your living room, your bedroom and be blessed, honoured to be in presence of pure allure.
