Gavin Friday, famous for his collaborations with U2 "In the Name of the Father, returns with an album that sounds really good, and darling to home. Critics
MOJO: 4 stars
Painting, acting, soundtrack, performing Shakespeare's sonnets with the Garvin Bryars Ensemble - Friday've Sailed Far Beyond mere songwriting Since 1995's "Shag Tobacco". But after Illness, turning 50, divorce and losing His Dad, There's much to fire this follow-up. Predecessors like three STIs, "Catholic" AIMS for a Torchy, mirror-ball beauty. These Are His silkiest Arrangements yet, pero shadowy undercurrents Ensure the tension never lets up. "A Song That hurts" gets a gorgeously luminescent strings over Paine falsetto. "Blame" Would Have Been ripe for a Johnny Cash cover, seven-minute finale "Lord I'm coming" echoes Peter Gabriel's Recent orchestral blue notes while "Perfume" Whiffs of louche disco, but mostly "Catholic" is one to stay home with for Some sombre reflection. Exciting
the end of the disk, as you say, reminiscent of Peter Gabriel and "Scratch my back", but it's really scary, "Lord, is nearing" and seems to go through a tunnel and you get closer to an inevitable end.
